    Your thrust angle is off too causing the pull.

    It should as close to 0° for the both of us.

    have you checked your rear axle if one side sticks out further than the other ?

    I have a shop that’s going to re install my springs and u bolts for 175$.


    It was driving fine before I had an add a leaf installed.

    The truck has 3,300 miles on it. I hate it to be honest and avoid driving it. No shop area will touch the rear axle.‍:popcorn: any suggestions?

    Mine has 15k miles

    what part of the country do you live in ?

    If it’s 100% stock have Toyota fix it. Mine was because of the icon add a leaf so that’s a me problem lol


    I would check the axle and if it’s shifted, the center pin on your leaf pack, spring perch if it’s flat against the leaf pack, and if your leafs are fanned out.
    Honestly the truck drives great once this is fixed.
    Here is how mine sits atm

    I'm in the Cincinnati area. Should I just tell them to fix the thrust angle? I'm a decent mechanic and have even do some engine building, but I'm at a loss when it comes to this stuff.

    Okay, I’m sure we can find a shop
    Near by.

    check all the things I told you and let me know the findings. You can also check your wheels, might worth a shot too

    To be honest the back end feels like it wants to go to the left. I've kinda always had a suspicion the axle wasn't sitting right, but everything looks fine. Maybe the bottom spring is off? 20241016_153900.jpg

    I've been thoroughly disappointed with the truck at this point.

    I went to this shop and they seemed on the ball, but when I asked about the rear end they said they don't mess with that. I'm really on the verge of just getting rid of the thing or trying to get Toyota to buy it back. It's had other issues on top of this. The axel looks to be centered.

    It is brand new so they might be on to something. I would take it back to the dealer you bought it from and demand they fix your thrust angle.
