About 3 months ago I took my truck into Ressler auto here in Bozeman (Chevy/Toyota dealer yes, bozeman is that small) to get my clutch replaced. Well about this time I noticed that my truck was starting to pull to the left a bit so I had them do an alignment. Well, I get the truck back and no more pulling to the left.
Well, over the last 2 months I've noticed that the dreaded "pulling to the left" has started up again and has been progressively getting worse. It's to the point now where if I'm heading down the road at 45 mph and I set the steering wheel so I should be going straight, it pulls to the left to the point where if I kept it that way, I'd be in the left lane in 5 seconds. (I tested this )
First thought was air pressure, nope, front and rear same.
I visually inspected my steering comps. and they seem to be fine as far as I could tell.
Next thought was weight, I've heard of the issue before "Toyota Lean"
It made sense, I have myself, my engel 45, and my gas tank ALL on the drivers side so it would make sense if the truck pulled to the left with me, the engel and a full tank of gas. However, it pulls equally the same full tank or not, passengers or not. And I even put 160# of sand on the passenger side to no avail.
The truck is in again with the problem explained to them so this thread is to see if any one else has had similar problems.
Oh and I've just been driving on the road, no pot holes nothing. So, nothing should have caused the alignment to be out of whack unless it was simply done poorly.
Thanks in advance.
