Thanks Randy. I have been back over the same roads I previously tested and cannot get the same results. Does the wind have much effect on my results?
I have just had my Lexus ES300 front and rear alignment performed. After alignment it pulls to the left. When you release the wheel it goes to the center and the car drifts to the left. It moves quick enough the you can feel the direction change when the speed of the car is 45+. Is the because the steering wheel was not set to center during alignment or is the alignment of the front or rear incorrect?Hi Jim,
What you described is not unusual. Did the alignment shop test drive the care BEFORE and AFTER their alignment??. .....
My guess is - NO - they did not!!
The wheel alignment is probably not correct, although the alignment tech will tell you "it's within specs".
If they mention "crown of the road" your alignment job is a joke!!
There is absolutely no reason that the car should be pulling to the right or the left after an alignment!! The steering geometry and specifications are designed and engineered to drive "straight" down the road.
I would take the car back and demand that they make it right. If they give you any excuses or other BS, then you might consider taking the car to a reputable alignment shop.
That's just my worthless opinion.
