    Hey guys. Came from a great F150 to a 2018 Tundra 4x4 double cab with XP package. I've had an alignment problem since I bought it, but my dealer can or will not align it properly. I got a copy of it today and with the little adjustment they did, it's actually worse. I've seen a thread on here before I joined that had people showing what numbers we should be aiming for but I can't find it. Any help appreciated. Oh yeah...Hello from Northeast Alabama. I love this truck, other than the alignment

    Almost forgot UPCs too. This is the general consensus

    This truck is all standard. It does have the 20 inch rims with 275/55/20 tire all terrain. I spend most of my time on the highway going back and forth to work.

    The problem I have is when going about 50mph or faster, on a straight road, when I let go of the wheel, the wheel will turn slightly right and it pulls right. If I'm in the left lane and the road is obviously slanted to the left, I can let go and it will hold that lane or very slowly drift to the left.

    Oh, after those slight changes, the pull is worse. And of course they closed early today.

    Hhmmmm... ..I haven't heard of any alignment issues with a stock truck. Unless something is worn out or bent this should not be an issue for even "Blow Joe Smoe, the dumb alignment tech guy". For them it's just to get everything into the green on stock vehicles.

    Getting it in the green is part of the problem IMO. Just doing that doesn't mean it's aligned properly.

    Actually if your vehicle is stock then in the green is good. It's once you start adding to the suspension that everything changes and the "Green" isn't always the acceptable answer or goal

    Hey there from Virginia!:mudding:
    Looked at tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings, etc? I know it's a 2018, but you're also not the first owner. Just makes me suspicious if it's stock and got worse with an alignment.
