Does anyone know if you get a free alignment with the 2011 GX 460? I've got about 3200 miles on it now after 2 months and we noticed that keeping the steering wheel straight causes the car to drift a good amount to the right.

I think they will do it at no charge within one year and 12,000 miles or less.

Great! I'll plan on it for my 5K service then.

Moot point given your mileage, but FWIW, the warranty is 1 year/20,000 miles.

So I put aftermarket MB vortex 20X9 6-139.7 10MTB rims and Yokohama yk580 tires Looks great with the black on black. I noticed it pulling to the right so rotated front to back then and left to right still pulled took the GX to my local Lexus dealer for a 4 wheel alignment It is still pulling to the right. Discount is going to replace the front two tires to see if it is a radial pull. Anybody have any insight could the rims be to heavy for the truck or the tires to aggressive which was suggested by the dealer. the pull is more noticeable at hwy speeds

I don't think the rims are to heavy and I have done high performance/aggressive tires on SUVs and it definitely causes the truck to ride different but not consistently pull in the same direction. With what you have done to resolve the problem with no results I would consider this problem was maybe there before but now you are focused on it with the new wheels/tires? If it comes down to it can you install the original equipment and see if the pull is still there? Post some pics of your new set up.

I think they look great, hope you can figure it out. I'd swap the factory wheels back on if you can. What tire size did you go with?

acamacho

I had the new tires put on at around 1000 miles didn't notice it before but only had driven 400 of those my wife took it on a road trip to Dallas with my daughter and put the other 600. its got 1800 now been trying to get it worked out for about a week now. could it be the stability control or the ride height. in the pics above it looks to be fairly level off by about 1/4 but that could just be the way the tape was folding. any insight would help

very nice looking wheels and truck.!

i have this exact same problem with mine but with stock wheels. its only apparent on hwy speeds. I've taken it to sewell and park place to have the alignment adjusted, but neither time seemed to change anything as it still pulls to the right. please let us know if you get it figured out, ill probably schedule another appointment to have them look at it again.

Exact same thing happened with mine...it pulls right. Had it re-aligned by the dealer after the dealer moaned and groaned. The tie-rod was also out so the steering wheel was off left.

Do note that any wind or structure/curvature in the road (not completely flat) will create the illusion that you're pulling one way or another. Best way to tell is on a flat, straight road with no wind. Let go of the wheel and if it still goes right (or left), you have an alignment issue.

you to check new alloy wheel again, I had some problem but in IS300 not GX and I they ask for 700$ for new OEM alloy wheel from lexus dealer, but I'm still with my old wheel and car pull to right. now I used to it no problem to me.
