Crooked steering wheel with straight alignment?

I have watched a video

 

Bust out the wrenches and have at it then.

 

I will. I have putting it off due to arthritis in wrists and waiting for cool weather.

 

After my Toyota dealer did a "4 wheel alignment" and it still didn't feel right, dropped it off at my local tire shop. Alignment was off? Now it tracks true and wheel is straight ! Calling the dealer today, sure it will go nowhere, but I have one more free oil change, then I'll only go back for warranty work.

 

Yea I had the same issue when truck was brand new dealer kept telling it was fine alignment was good ect... but steering was crooked I couldn’t take it anymore took to my buddy shop and he let me sad in the truck while holding the steering to my liking and did the alignment 2 years so far so good! Same with my wife’s new Highlander lol

 

I don't think I'd ever trust a Dealership to do a 4 wheel alignment, ever haha

To update everyone else, haven't had the time to fix it or try just yet.

 

Shows you what kind of trust I HAD and don't have anymore !

 

I had an alignment done a few weeks ago. When I asked them about the rear tires, they said rear doesn't get aligned cause it's a solid axle.

 

I don't know who is a bigger dope, Service guy telling me they will do a 4 wheel alignment. or me for believing them !

 

Don't feel too much like a dope - I asked the question, too....that was after reading someone else on tundras.com mention 4 wheel alignment. Before that, honestly, I never heard of it before.

 

Dealer says that their "best" tech did my alignment and are surprised if it was not done correctly. I asked why wasn't the steering wheel straight? I was free to bring it back for it to be checked, well I said the steering wheel could be the fault of the tech. But I think you would give me the line that I hit something to cause it to go out of alignment. Well, he said, we would have to look at it.... Yeah... I asked for a print out of pre and post numbers...………………………………...silence...………………………………….please hold...…………………………………….. we don't have access to that. ???? Umm, really?

I got pre & post numbers from the local shop and the owner says, bring it back if it doesn't feel right to you ! WE WILL make it right..

 

Why I never go to dealer unless I absolutely have to.

 

My mantra from this day forward.
