    Hey all,

    2006 TRD - have owned for 5 years. Has always pulled to the right a bit. Occasionally it will also pull left though too, but it’s usually right. Got an alignment and it didn’t help.

    2009 TRD - just bought. Has exact same problem except it pulls right very bad. Can’t take your hand off the wheel at all. Also pulls to the left at times, but it’s usually right.

    I don’t want to pay for another alignment and have it not work again. What could be going on here? I read some posts saying it could be tire wear but I have multiple sets of tires and rims that I’ve always swapped on my 06 every winter and summer. Both sets have the same issue, and one of them I recently bought new and it had the issue immediately.

    Ya post your alignment sheet.

    Without more info, the possibilities I come to are either negative toe, low caster or a worn bushing

    post a picture of your front tire tread too

    A good alignment shop will tell you if any parts need replacement before finishing the work.

    My bet is you need a better shop
