Wheel Alignment question SRT-10 06

Guys I am apologizing for the stupid question in advance (of which I think I know the answer...but just in case...)

My First Edition SRT-10 Coupe is sort of pulling to the right. I took it by a bridgestone tire place near my work and one of the techs (casually not officially) told me he only had the set ups for the 2005 SRT-10 not the 06.

It does not make a difference correct?

Thanks in advance for any help.

More than likely, not one bit of difference. Unless you have taken a curb or severe pothole shot, it isn't your alignment. First, check the cross-car tire pressures. Next, swap L-R tires and see if the trend reverses. MEASURE the tread depth *with a gauge* and see if there is some camber wear beginning to show. If so, you should consider dismounting the tires and reverse-mounting them to even out the wear.

If you have Michelin Pilots the tires have to be dismounted to swap. They are directional. You can't just swap side to side like most tires. What caused the pull all of a sudden? Did you hit a curb? or othole to change the Caster. Been an alignment tech for years and there is no way the 05 specs diff from 06. In fact I could take ANY car and set it up for good tire wear and no pulls without specs. If you look at specs thay are all withn the same area. On a car with both camber and caster adjustments. The camber on radials is always right around 0 degrees and they should be same both sides. The caster (not tire wear angle set for crown of road pull) and the right wheel .5 degree more + than left. If has only camber adjust then caster the same on both sides and left camber .5 more+ than left that is at 0. So to shorten you gettn BS on have to have spevs. Also on Viper need to check rear align 1st, same as 05, then set to front. Ie; 4way alignment
