    I’m pretty new to understanding alignments and adjustments since I’ve always just lived with my land cruiser pulling to the right. I recently put new tires on my truck and decided to get an alignment done. I wish I paid more attention to how it was prior to alignment, but alas I didn’t, all I know is it was pulling a bit to the right, which I’ve read can be common with the st Maxx tires....which I have on my land cruiser.

    The first time; they re-aligned the truck twice to get it to track straight’ish. I noticed it still pulled a bit to the right but it was better. The issue was the caster was set back too far and it was now rubbing. I went back and they adjusted the caster forward and realigned. There is no rubbing now, but I notice the truck tracks more to the right and the steering wheel pulls right with road crown. The wheel also doesn’t seem to snap back to center as evenly as it does when turning left. It seems to stay right.

    What confuses me even more is the numbers from when they aligned it the second time show completely different from the third time when they adjusted the casters back forward. Shouldn’t the last adjustment “before” show the same as the adjustment they did prior?
