Hi,

I just wondered if any other GS owners have experienced their car pulling excessively either to the left or right?

I've had my car about a month it's been back to Lexus 3 times (due to go back for a fourth visit next week). The car keeps drifting / pulling to the left at all speeds, Lexus have carried out numerous 4 wheel alignments and are telling me that the geometry is within specification unsure.gif. However I fail to believe that it should be behaving this way if everything is ok, does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Definately sounds like something is out wink.gif

Did you by any chance get a print out when they did it ?? If so get the results up and the boys (and girls to keep Miss 2D happy whistling.gif ) can take a look and see if they can 'spot the deliberate mistake' msn-wink.gif

Ohh and welcome to LOC biggrin.gif

Have you also tried putting the steering on a FULL LOCK and driving at slow speeds? Our tyres scrub across the surface when doing this.
Our '07 GS300 is behaving the same way as yours it seems despite them doing alignments, and don't even begin to mention the tyre wear!! cry.gif

Other than an "eventual drift" due to the road crown no car should pull... I would love to see the reports given to you, can you make these visible or even email them to me?

Hi, try changing the 2 front wheels and see what happens,that is the left on the right and right on the left,if it is the some, the trackings out.But also check your tyre pressures,tyre thread depth,because 2 to3mm makes the difference,Oh make sure the tyres are the some make blush.gif .

To belay a myth Tracking (wheel alignment) cannot make a car pull.
