Alignement

So has anyone had an issue with their alignments? Ive got a 2013 Crew 4x4 that has been realigned 4 times in five months and its out again. Its had everyone of its scheduled maintenances and only goes down dirt roads every once in awhile and the alignment issues don't really popup in correlation with a trip down one. Ive avoided pot holes speed bumps everything and the dealer is treating me like I'm jumping it. I don't get it but if there is a fix homemade, or store bought Id love to know about it.

Thanks

 

Sounds like your alignment place isn't doing something right. Go somewhere else. I wheel the shit out of my truck and don't need that many alignments even in 2 years.

 

Take it to a real alignment shop.

 

Well, I figured, its not the first dealer issue Ive had, but they are covering it under warranty so yeah Ill be doing that. Thanks Guys, i just kinda figured Toyota knew how to work on their own trucks....

 

Mark your cams before you bring it in and check your torque. I bet the bolts are loose.

The idiots are probably not torquing the bolts down to 110# so anytime you hit a bump it moves.

It's very simple to check them so that's where I would start.

 

Roger that, thanks a bunch.

 

My dealer does an alignment check on a machine inside the bay where you drop your vehicle off. It read that my alignment was off, so when I went back for the rear brake TSB done I had them align it. The actual alignment rack in the garage had completely different numbers. Not perfect, but well within spec. They aligned it and charged me anyway.

If they are doing the same thing, tell them to put it on the alignment rack and check it again. I've seen them when they are busy, and they go through that check pretty quickly and sloppily.

 

Also never align a lifted truck to stock specifications..........

 

Yeah I had it just go loose on me on the highway once and while Im good with an engine, front ends tend to baffle me and the last one I worked on was a lift on my Jeep TJ didn't really leave me with a fond memory. I guess I might just as well suck it up and learn cause im gonna lift this thing.

 

I may have covered the removal of the bolts in here....

Sorry I thought I said thank you for your advice, and will check the bolts as you said.
