How likely is it for an alignment issue to crop up in under 8k miles? I had a feathering problem too, and my car was aligned regularly.

:wow: It happens to me when I drive XTREMELY like an A HOLE in corners.
I remember what it was, I would take this big AZZ clover leaf on ramp, and I would see how fast I could take it, trying for faster each time. The outside front feathered BAD. But it was fun.
