    I've been meaning to go to the dealer soon. It has Bridgestone tires on it. I noticed the rear wheels kinda tip in at the top. Is that a sign of a bent axle? It's not real noticable, but my Cadillac doesn't do that.

    So the original tires have definitely been replaced. Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing because most people only get around 40K miles out of them anyway. But I would get the alignment checked. Even if you have to pay a few dollars for it, it will be money well-spent if it keeps your tires from wearing out prematurely.

    You can't really tell you have an alignment issue by looking at the wheels (unless it's really bad). An alignment check doesn't need to be done at the dealer. Any competent shop can do it.
