Car Pull on Uneven Roads
Again im new to this forum and Im a new owner of a 2003 Lexus GS430; the question I have is when I seem to drive on a road that is uneven or grooves in the road the car pulls similiar to having large wheels on a car. I went to a local shop that works only on foreign cars to have it wheel aligned and wheel/tire balancing and it still does the same thing.....I need some help also keep in mind the Lexus is totally stock with the fsctory bridgestones 235/45/17 and less than 39k on it.

Pulling
Thank you for advice I called them and explained to them what the problem is and they notified me that on heavy trafficed routes such as rte 9 where large truck travel on can cause those grooves in the road and those grooves will cause the car to pull, etc. The pulling only happens on uneven surface if I took it to lexus would they align the car any different from them??????

IMO have the suspension checked and let it go. I get road grab all the time but I'm running a pretty fat set up both front and rear. If you don't anything bump or grind and you've had a professional check the suspension, just concede the fact that you'll have the issue.

My car went in for alignment a couple of months ago and drives straight if I were to take my hands off the steering wheel. That pulling whether it be to the left or right does still occurs when I drive on roads where the asphalt appears to be sunken in. Its not really a pothole or sink hole though.

Hey, I know what your talking about. I installed my daizen rack and away back bushings, it helps noticeably. However, where I live in construction hell, there's like 200+ road construction projects going on under MNDoT. It's either winter or construction season , however I have never been a car that is so sensitive to uneven roads as I drive an LS, LX, a 5-series beamer, explorer, escape, and even my girls Accord doesn't pull and move around in the lane while I happen to driving on uneven pavement or going back and forth. I feel as it wasn't like this when I bought it, however it's been 2 years now since I bought my GS. But even my friends GS is similar, and he didn't even tighten his rack, and he has 16's with brand new tires. I am willing to just deal with it, because I have yet to see someone on the highway who can keep up with the GS, and drive it 24/7/365.
Question: Why do people come on here and give stupid answer's as no one wants to hear an answer like take other roads. If you don't wanna answer with a constructive answer, don't answer! I think he could probably figure that one out, but sometimes that just not another option. It isn't like all roads around here are even, except the one I take. Just my 2 cents.
