Wheel alignment for ES350
#16
This is what I found in my car:
I think the "specified range" has nothing to do with the ES350.
Now the car has 59000 (this was done in 6/7/2012 at 25442 miles) miles and I think it's time to do it again.

NEED SOME SERIOUS ASSISTANCE- I see this thread has many items that I needed. I hit a pothole and blew my struts out about 9 weeks back. I was on a tight budget and my son works at auto so i did what I could. I am familiar with suspension, but not like I am with engines... I have all the tools and all the right parts... So i went a cheap route because I could not take off work to get my car done and my boss kinda put me in a jam bcz he would not cooperate to assist me in claiming on insurance, but was no witnesses, no police report and I did not report it right away, the boss could verify via affidavit that I was in my territory, outside sales, several weeks i am piece by piece repairing. Found a mechanic that I would buy tires from and he did suspension, but he let his new staff do the work, so started with a fully loaded front strut assemble, cv axles, rotors, pads, and other than the rotors and pads which i did myself, kept having issues, so the new springs ****ed me up, took it back to the mechanic, they say swaybar links, I go get those and install myself. Then I take to another shop for full alignment, but started to hear (feel ) a grind metal on metal, nobody else felt it but i drive my es 350 5h gen daily, I know my baby. So I get the wheel bearing and hub assembly on the passenger front. then for a few hours, finally fixed, but nope... veering hard to passenger side, like uneven and unparalleled from driver side ... not alignment shop rotated all and crossed them too, still, each time pull right but not evenly with driver front... MY QUESTION IS how do I get this done and all alignment done with rods and tie/toe and caster and camber and check everything on right torque and properly loaded. The first mechanic tightened everything with an impact wrench so replacing the bearings and hubs cost me new cv axles, my son works at AutoZone so warranty swap at no cost... So is there any suggestions, because I only have the stabilizer bar, and even bought new bushings but don't need and don't want to pay any more mechanics... my budget is going to be back to normal when i start this new job in august but I gotta get my car from having a shopping cart wheel on the front ... do i take these specs to an alignment place? Lexus dealer too damn expensive... and these parts were all OEM top end... so cant seem to figure out unless rack and pinion are bad, but no power steering problems or leaks
