        Re: Wheel Alignment Recomendations

        Got mine done through Country Hills Toyota The wheels are aligned and they provided me with the sheet that shows how much was corrected. It's good so far but I guess I'm a perfectionist since the steering wheel is still slanted a little to the left. There's no pull to the left or right driving down the highway but the slanted steering wheel really gets me.

          .. yeah, they should have fixed that IMO... Would drive me nuts too.

          or is that because stuff was seized?

            I'm not sure.. They didn't say anything with regards to any issues they came across... I really don't want to drive up to country hills coming from the south but I might have to this weekend to show them and ask.

              Centering the wheel should be a simple thing to do. It'd bug me too, but again, something they should do for free, and simple to do.

                  I told George to take it for a spin, he said it just needs balancing and not aligning. But it turned out the wheel bearing on the right side was a bit brused. So I had that replaced as well. I was a bit gutted, as I had the left side replaced not so long ago....guess the right side wanted out as well....

                      The wheel has been realigned and the wheel is perfect. I just wish the service manager was a little more understanding. I lost a couple hours of my work day to drop the car off. But I'm the kind of person that wants everything. Haha Thumbs up for being fair!

                              puts pressure on face of tire while spinning to simulate force from road. can catch a few things that just spinning alone wont.

                                our "euro" tech has resigned, so until further notice we won't be able to align certain cars......
