    Being out of align is not a lemon. Since you are on house arrest spend some time on the forum and learn the basics about alignments. Also, ask for the alignment specs when they are done and post them here.

    Reading the OP's messages it is like reading a foreign language.

    There is something wrong with the front suspension. Don't accept it back until it is fixed. I would also push for a loaner car...

    Take it to Carson Toyota off of the 405 down by the refineries.

    They are a corporate-owned dealership.
    Don't fuck around with those jackwagons at Elmore or SouthCoast.

    Bought my wife's Rav4 from them.
    Almost bought my 2nd Tundra, but I (thought I) needed something that could tow 8k, which wasn't the case for the 1st Gen DC Tundra.

    I was in tight with Dianne, the fleet manager. She hung out on Tundrasolutions and the dealership offered deep discounts to members on parts and you couldn't beat their fleet deals.

    But they are a busy dealership.
    Go in for service on Saturday morning and there's a line of 20 cars waiting to get in, and they have (or did in 2005) a lot runner bringing coffee and donuts around to the waiting customers.

    Air will not cause the tire to appear slanted.

    Air will cause the tire to bulge at the bottom where it contacts the road.

    But I've been smelling a troll for a while now...
