    Greetings,

    I have had 3 alignments done. When I leave after the work has been completed the truck drives amazing, but it only last half a day and then I'm being slightly pulled to the right.

    Pulling to the right when driving city intown speeds 30-40's

    No major upgrades. 20210927_063727.jpg 20210927_063704.jpg

    Thoughts ideas ??

    When you go back for an alignment what is not right? Camber? Toe?
    How are the front end parts doing, any worn out parts?

    Looks to me like they're not adjusting camber/caster and only toe. Hope you're not paying them each time. I'd guess the camber being + on pass side and - on drive side is causing the pulling to the right.

    Thanks for the input. I'm not paying each time. I gave les Schwab a chance to do it. Paid 1 time, they did alignment twice and also said idk why your pulling to the right.

    This post shows recent trip to Toyota dealership and paid 1 time looked at by them twice and still pulls to the right

    Hard to say with any confidence.

    How many miles on the truck?
    Any lifts?
    Suspension modifications?

    I would suspect worn parts, specifically tie rods.....other suspension parts can conspire to create trouble.

    Ask them to make the caster match on both sides as a first step.

    Then match camber as closely as possible, side to side.

    Then set toe.

    It looks to me like they are just seeing 'green lights', meaning within spec, and calling it good. Technically correct, but not the best they can do.

    I will add this to my list of what needs to be looked at. I agree the "green" pass isn't fixing the issue.
