I took the car to NCM, had fun and post track day maintenance - I noticed there was some grease spill on the passenger side knuckle.

Little bit of back story - Before the track day. I went and dropped my car at the local Chevy dealer since I felt the car was loose at the rear end. As I suspected the rear toe was off. They did the alignment as per the spec and handed me the car. While I was driving home, I noticed my steering wheel is crooked by 3-4 degrees to the right. I immediately went back again. They got the car on the alignment rack and they managed to correct it by 2 degrees after 3 hours of struggle. However, the steering wheel was still off by 2 degrees and they gave up on it and told me that this is the best they can do. Also, the service manager was like "you should take this car to a speed shop". So I drove the car home with the crooked steering wheel and took it to the track "as-is" since the alignment specs were spot on and car wasn't pulling to either side.

Now coming back to the leaky damper - After seeing the grease on the right side knuckle, I assumed that the steering wheel being off by few degrees and the grease on the right knuckle might be a shot damper or wheel hub bearing.

So, I took it to the dealer again and they kept the car for an entire day and they said the grease spill is pretty normal and they handed me a service bulletin ( See attached ) which says this is normal. I found a thread here, where the owner got a new damper replacement cause of the grease leak from the damper. Has anyone faced this issue?

Also, they re-did the alignment But the steering wheel is still off by 2 degrees to the right. I'm confused and trying to find out why my steering wheel is still crooked. Current alignment spec is attached as well. Has anyone with ZLE track spec alignment had steering wheel angle being off issue? If so, how did you guys got it corrected.

Thanks
