Recently I notice my car leans toward the right when I am on the freeway. I just got an alignment done but it didn't make much difference. my only other probable cause is my steering wheel is misaligned. any insight would help. Thanks

 

this is normal, its called the lexus lean.

 

Get coilovers to fix it.

 

a reason to upgrade...

 

one reason may be tread pull.. another reason may be because they adjusted the toe incorrectly in the front. call them and let them know of the situation

 

.. Time for Coil but mine was fixed at the dealer and it's fine now

 

coils doesnt fix it lol.................

 

Almost deceived...good thing coilover wasn't on my upgrade list.

 

fix my sqeaky seat too...

 

Just what do you mean by 'leans toward the right'?


Is the right side lower than the left?

If the right side is lower, you might have a broken or sagging spring.


Does the car pull to the right so you have to constantly turn the wheel to the left?

If the car pulls to the right, you could need an alignment or you have a bad/soft tire or you have a right side brake dragging.

It is not normal for any car to lean or pull to the right.

 

The car looks pretty "balanced" and I just got the alignment done so I can rule that out. when I hold my steering wheel I don't notice the car drifting...its when I let my steering wheel go then I notice the drift. My other cars drift a little bit after a good distance but this one starts to drift the second I let go.

 

so what your describing is a "pull" to the right, not a lean. If your car is pulling to the right, then maybe your alignment wasn't perfectly done. If your steering wheel isn't centered right after you get an alignment done, I would question the ability of the shop or tell them to do it again to make it correct.


It is kinda normal for the 2IS. for some reason, our car kinda leans towards the driver's side if you were to stare at the car directly on. Its a lot more noticable if you just install springs, you'll notice that one side of the car sags more. But you are absolutely correct that it is not normal for a car to pull to the right.

 

There is a TSB state for the car being pull because the caster arm or something bushing need to replace and then alignment... GO dealerhip and tell advisor about the TSB

 

thanks for advice. I will do that.

 

Sorry about the misunderstanding. bad choice of word.
Maybe the sag is to compensate the driver...just a guess...
