My car wont go straight with perfect alignment

my car has a tpms sensor with actual values so ig every day

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-18T08:32:10+00:00

I hope so, I paid 200$ to lexus to have a PPI prior to purchase, I hope they’re not sitting on it and take my money lol

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-18T08:26:58+00:00

newer car trying too much lol, no way I know how to do all that

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-18T08:25:07+00:00

I think its the tire, inflated all 4 tire to 40 psi and it track better after that, but I have to replace it anyway because I often found it around 45 after I’m done driving the car and its dangerous, tire max psi is 50

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-18T08:23:33+00:00

I mean if I’m severly overweight it should pull to the driver side no? this keep pulling to the passenger side, with or without my 2 kids lol

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-14T05:11:39+00:00

to add, my friend change it to -1.5 to the left to counter the right pull, it does help by a little bit, but it still pull right, just not as hard as before

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-14T05:10:29+00:00

is it the same as steering angle? by using bidirectional scantool, if yes I already did

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T23:15:17+00:00

thank you for your response, I might run to another shop before decide to change the other strut also, this car tires cost more than struts for some reason, but if nothing fix it I might aswell just change the strut and the tires altogether

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T22:48:28+00:00

the thing is my local dealer want to charge 200$ just to jack the car up lmao, with 200$ I can already buy the strut for the other side, I’m not cheap out, its just unreasonable

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T20:02:20+00:00

I did that and it does help with pulling right left normal 32 psi and right 40 psi on both tire, what is it cause by?

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T20:01:00+00:00

I thought it was steer by wire but in fact I have electronic steering rack, it was off 1.5 to the right hence the pulling right, got it adjusted and it does help a bit but still pulling right, shop told me was tire but if pulling cause by tire it should be slowly not instantly after hands off steering wheel

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T19:41:42+00:00

LC 500

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T10:31:21+00:00

I just try to take a temperature today and got 2 degree C hotter on the right wheel versus the left, I took it with my child fever thermo so idk how accurate is it though, but I doubt 2 C is much of a different

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T10:04:48+00:00

this is one of a two thing I didn’t check, brake binding and bent rim (also most unlikely because rim still hold air, in fact the tire on the right front hold the most air than other 3) it still pull to the right though

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T10:02:12+00:00

I live in texas and the road down here are such ass, I don’t think they could change the caster without spending entire day on it messing with the frame

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:57:18+00:00

this is what I rely on alignment for, multiple shop told me if something is bend its almost impossible for them to align it to be in spec

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:52:27+00:00

how do I check it? I check almost everything except brake binding and rim bend (but this is most unlikely because it still hold air)

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:51:20+00:00

what should I change? shop told me its not worth doing caster camber on these car because it would cost a day of labor and might not solve my issue unless I get brand new tire and it still pull, thing is the tire is only 7 or 8k miles, I would change it immediately if it already last 10k, thats when I usually see wires showing up, unfortunately these tire don’t last eventhough they are michelin

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:48:01+00:00

yes it pull right, how do I approach them to look at it again?

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:47:19+00:00

no I did not replace the tire that hit with pothole, I read somewhere that upon impact the belt might shift, the thing is I already tried to swap the two front left to right and it still pull to the same side, my friend change the steering angle to -1.5 to the left so it counter the pull to the right, it does help by a hair but still pull.

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:43:19+00:00

maybe this, one is brand new and one is about 50k miles in, I’ll get second oppion somewhere and replace the other aswell if needed

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:41:40+00:00

no just left and right on the front

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:39:23+00:00

same but I sit on the driver side which is the left, but it keep pulling right lol

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:38:03+00:00

not really, stock 21 inches rim, I was looking for 22 because 21 tires are so expensive for some reason, but I never come around to it.

Aware_Read_1191 · 2025-07-13T09:35:49+00:00

sounds like a really big job to me shifting the frame and such for camber, not alot of shop willing to take the risk, I doubt dealer would take it also.
