Hi
i’ve brought my 2018 LX 570 to the dealership five times to fix the alignment as the car pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel. It is so frustrating to have to hold the steering wheel down just to make sure it doesn’t go right
The dealer has done an alignment five times and they don’t know how to fix it. Any ideas?

 

Have you rotated the tires between any of these alignments?

 

yes I rotated them

 

yes

 

Does the alignment come back within specs or is it out of spec and they say they can't fix it

 

I would try a local shop w/ a good reputation to do an alignment. Just because you go to the dealer doesn't necessarily mean the know what they are doing. Especially 5 times! Ask for the computer print out w/ the before & after repair specifications. (Green is good Red is bad) Make sure the Time, Date & VIN or License plate number matches your truck and not someone elses.

I would also try cross rotating the front tires to see if the pull changes to the opposite side if the alignment doesn't take care of the pulling. The belts in a tire can take a "Set" & create a pull in a specific direction, swapping to the other side with no change can rule that out. I know you said they did rotate the tires, but lazy Techs just swap them front to back & not cross rotating them like they are suppose to.

 

I would agree with these recommendations. Just make sure whenever you take in your vehicle for alignment, turn off AHC. For some reasons if
ahc is on, it lowers the car and we don't adjust it properly.
