Truck pulls right after multiple alignments

Truck pulls to the right after multiple alignments wondering if anyone else has had this issue

 

Incorrect alignment.
Defective tire.
Defective front suspension part(s).

Post your alignment numbers and I'm sure somebody in the know will chime in.

 

90% it’s your tires. There is a thread where someone just went thru this.

It’s not my tires I’ve swapped back to the factory ones and still pulls

 

Possible dragging caliper or rear parking or stopping brake. Pull the parking brake in a straight line while rolling and if it pulls right it could be dragging.

 

Mine did this and after multiple alignment shops it was finally discovered I had a bent spindle.

 

Mine sorta did this after two alignments and finally the guy had to adjust caster somehow to get it to track straight. The numbers looked good on paper but they ended up having to do some finaggling with the caster to get it right.

 

How did you figure that out? Mine is pulling hard right after new LCA’s, all new UCA bushings, and uniball. I thought it could be my tires because of how it feels like a hopping/bouncing and steering wheel shake upon braking. New rotors, pads, wheel bearings, and ecgs clam shell as well. And several alignments.

Edit: I also have new wheel bearings

 

@Slick Taco But my spindles look fine

 

@Turdyota3000 ive done the same thing too and mine still pulls right

 

I can’t figure it out. I don’t know what to look for or how to inspect the spindle without taking it off? Going to have my coilovers rebuilt soon as well. I’ve spent a lot of damn money on new front end parts just to have this thing go straight to the ditch if I let go of the wheel.

 

what are your alignment numbers?

 

@Turdyota3000 i took mine to Toyota yesterday and they said they had fixed it but as soon as I hit the road it pulled right again so I’m taking it back

 

What are your alignment numbers? Always request a spec sheet after the alignment. You’d be surprised how many places do toe-n-goes

 

Not trying to thread jack you OP but I’m having this same issue and any advice will help. I was just told by Toyota tech to check my motor mounts as well.

 

• I finally took it to a shop that specializes in off roading and 4x4 vehicles. The guy removed both spindles and put them side by side and you could see that one of them had a slight bend in it. It wasn't much but it was enough to pull my truck slightly to the right even though they were able to get proper alignment numbers.

 

Just throwing in my experience with this as well (also to the right, funny how that's what we all experience lol). Mine was so bad it wore down my STMaxx really unevenly within a short amount of time.

Finally the 4x4 shop adjusted my SPC UCAs to have more caster on one side, so at least I was able to track straight and not destroy my tires fighting a pull all the time.

My spindles look fine though we haven't taken them off to compare side by side. The shop thinks it might actually be a slight bend in my driver side LCA where the ball joint mount is riveted into the arm...that side looks like it has a slightly upward angle compared to the other side, which might explain the right pull. Currently looking at replacing that LCA to see if it helps.

If not then I'm looking at the spindles, hopefully.

My advice would be, in the meantime get them to try and align your truck so it does track straight so you don't eat up your tires.

Although in my case, they were actually unable to get me good alignment numbers so that's a little different than some.

 

Mine was caused be a sized cam bolt.

 

I just got off the phone with Toyota and I ordered all new cam bolts.

 

Look and measuring fine are two different things. I may be pleasing to the eye, but how does it measure out or compare to a new one.
