Alignment issue?
Sorry guys if this has been discussed before, I searched on my phone and nothing popped up.
Anyone else have issues with their alignment? I’ve had the 500 for 3 weeks and always kind of noticed an issue. On a dead straight line my steering pulls to the right causing the steering wheel to stay a bit to the left(clearly lol)
could’ve sworn I read about this before but can’t find the issue. I’ll be making an appt with Lexus but just wanted to know if it’s known… I had a 350 f sport and it had the same issue also, ate up the front tires

Lane keep assist will definitely cause some tugging.
My first IS500 was out of alignment the first 2000 miles, took it in for an alignment and was fine thereafter. Apparently pretty common for new cars to be sold out of alignment. Guessing it’s just something that happens during transport.

No I’ve had lane assist off since delivery. But nonetheless I made an appt for Thursday.
I’ll post results
EDIT:: I actually just noticed all my tires are not same PSI. 🤦🏻♂️ let me fix that issue first lol. My rears are off by 4PSI from each other. Front also. Everything wacky. I’ll report back 🤪

Get the Firestone Lifetime Alignment. For $180-200 its a no-brainer. The dealership will shellack you by charging more than that for 1 alignment alone. Get the alignment done every 6 months or whenever you hit a pothole. Since our tires cant be rotated its worth it to save tread.
No need to pay extra and go to a specialty alignment store or dealership. Firestone has the software. It's all the same.

I agree with Answer. All my Lexus products needed an alignment upon delivery. Not sure if they hunker them down so securely during shipping but all were out of whack. I will not leave the dealership after picking a new lexus without having them check the alignment.

That is strange. My 2021 IS 350 and now my IS 500 never had issues upon delivery. I did get an alignment on the IS 350 because it felt a little sloppy while braking at one point. It turns out that it had a little toe-out on one of the front tires, probably due to a pothole. But so far so good on the 500... I don't think it makes sense for the cars to have bungled alignment from new, but what do I know.

get it aligned. some are coming from the factory with steering wheel off center. my 500 was good, but my 22 i350 was off center, and when i had a new camry that was off center also.
