Since brand new, my '22 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 has had a drift to the right

You mean I gotta hold the steering wheel too!

Cripes..

 

@BabyBilly Thank You for the suggestion!! I have done that and it definitely does better in a center lane of a 3 lane Freeway!! I’m being WAY TOO PICKY!! I feel much better.

 

@Mallcrawler20 I took my rig to the Toyota Dealership where I purchased my truck and they checked the alignment and said the steering wheel was just a hair off center and they adjusted it and made it TRUE!! That was 3 months after picking up the truck and I noticed it still drifted on my way home , which was a 30 mile freeway drive!! Thank you for the reply!!

 

@gudujarlson Thank you for the feedback and suggestions!! I’m being WAY TOO PICKY and expecting too much! I feel Way Better!!

 

@BLtheP Thanks for the advice!! I’m being WAY TOO PICKY and I’m done fretting about it. You’re right , I can’t feel it in the steering wheel.

 

@fdbyrne Thanks for the feedback!! I only check it when I’m on a straight stretch of road that looks to be level. I’m being WAY TOO PICKY about it and I’m DONE worrying about it.. I feel much Better! Thanks again

 

One thing that hasn't been said but is a big factor is there is no such thing as a "perfect" alignment. Alignments have tolerances for all parameters and even though the alignment sheet shows all green, it doesn't mean it is perfect. Also, road crown is different for all demographics. Typically alignment caster is adjusted to compensate for average road crown but each state and highway department may define crown differently. Some 3 lane highways may all slope to the ditch while others may crown in the middle of the road and drain to the median and shoulder together.

At the end of the day, you can either accept the truck the way it is or go to an independent shop who can adjust it the way you want it to track but if it drives straight without touching the wheel on I10 doesn't mean it wont pull hard to the left when you head north on I5. Nature of the beast...just roll the window down, stick your elbow out, crank up some Rush and enjoy the ride up to Oregon!

 

OP, does it drift the same after a tire rotation?

 

@airforceb2cc Thank you so very much for the educational information , I really appreciate it. I’m being way too picky about it and thanks to all the helpful feedback to my post I’ve decided to F..K
It and not worry about it anymore!! In regards to the trip to Oregon , 100 % agree! Crank the tunes up , Rush ( Lime Light , Tom Sawyer) , yeah Man!! On the way back here to Arizona ( Sun City West ) we are going to take the 505 to the 80 to the 280 to Beautiful Hwy “ 1 “ and drive from San Francisco thru Santa Cruz , Monterey , Carmel , Big Sur , Morro Bay , Pismo Beach and then from Ventura go thru Santa Clarita and head to the 15 for Vegas to visit my Wife’s Step-Mom for a couple days and then a short treck home!!
