So I got my Super Black SE on Thursday. Spent all Sunday four wheeling in a river bed, Lake bed and up in 2 feet of snow in the mountains. It performed like now other machine I've ever seen. Though driving back home up I5 my alignment was pulling to the right quite a bit. Is X's alignment pretty sensative? Thanks for any input.

Thanks,
Dave

Check for a bent tie-rod.

It's almost impossible to 'knock' any other part out of alignment.

Well I got under the X yesterday. I didn't see any bending or stress in or around the tie rod. Maybe it just loosened up or something? I get's re-aligned tomorrow.

I bought it last Thursday. Should I remove some of the mud from the chassis. I don't won't them accusing me of the wear and tear that caused the prob. And end up charging me for the fix.

Almost every time I go offroad I've had the torsion bars settle. I'm lifted and this will throw the aligment off if it settles enough. I took mine in over lunch and they found that one of my ball joints was ready to fall apart. 4th ball joint on that side in a year, but the first that had more than just a torn boot.

Tire pressuse it a killer as well, simple to check and fix...

I always check my tire pressure and match as close as possible for long trips....
