Is it April already?
Crooked rear tire
-
-
Are you "on the level?"
Did you buy that from Crooked Hillary?
Seriously, not normal..bent axle, loose bearing, back to dealer -
Now I see it. Checking with a level on top of tire would be easiest check.

OK, so where is the update?
-
well i brought it to Alamo cycle plex in San Antonio. They claim there is nothing wrong. After looking at some other SL in the shop it seems most of them are not perfect. Your thoughts?
Drive it like you stole it and check for uneven tire wear in 1000 miles.

- Same picture
THANK YOU.... I haven't been back to this thread because a tilted picture, and a 2nd tilted picture taken..... sure makes it hard to convince me I'm not at a David Copperfield show...
Told @airoutlaw when he shared this with me... "somebody needs to ask for a -straight- not tilted picture. "
Although using the levels would be an even better gauge for pictured illustration... looks quite normal in your version, which is why I was suspicious of 2 pics tilted purposely. -
As @Red said above... cause warranty and you addressed the issue with your dealer.
@mniron took your original pic and aligned it vertical and the rear wheel tilt is not there but your tag is mounted on a tilt...
Not sure of the model you are driving...
If you still think it's wonk...
On a flat level surface... check ride heighth, take a measurement of left and right sides at the forward edge of the lower 'A' arm, ground to frame.
Aftermarket coilovers and the SLR LE have adjustable ride heighth.
-
The tire is straight. The entire slingshot is crooked.
Could the frame be in a twist?
I don’t care what the dealer said. It just looks wrong.

Pictures are deceiving. For the record, Alamo cycle Plex (ACP) isn't the preferred dealer around here for work. I almost always take the drive out to Woods Cycle Country. But admit I snag parts from ACP since they offer military discount.
Swing by my place (78260) and let's get the whale tail on straight and take some measurements of your rear tire alignment. I am told it is a fun drive up to my place in North SATX. But @MiM wouldn't know nothing about that... Slacker.
Bring your swimming trunks... the pool is still perfect.

thats at cycle plex after they claim to havetaken it into shop and checked her over and stated all wa OK
-
Looking at the picture it's apparent the level and tire aren't square with each other. Draw a straight line with the bottom of the level and tire in the picture.
