yes, I left that shop they took my money and didn't do anything. They did a test drive and acted like the car is dead center spot on and they were doing the most to make me think its all good when it's very obvious there it's not straight. I face this issue a lot because I'm much younger (18) than most people that drive a GX so the shops think they can just trick a kid and he will believe it and leave.

I've got a similar issue... (if this should be in a new thread then mods please feel free to move)

After making left turns in my GX460 the vehicle pulls to the right HARD for a few hundred feet before neutralizing back to center. The issue can also occur after sharp right hand turns but is less pronounced.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing momentary steering pull in one direction after making a turn in the opposite direction?
This is on a 2016 with 42k miles.
It seems crazy, but it is quite obvious to where even my buddy in the passenger seat noticed. I should try to get a video...

Zayn

yes, you are 100% correct I have this issue as well very noticeable on left turns. it doesn't center back until you let go of the throttle or let it neutralize itself back center. I sometimes hear a slight rub noise not sure if that has anything to do with it.

EthanS

Glad I'm not the only one...
I'm wondering if it has to do with the KDSS or full time 4WD. I've owned the vehicle for about 2 months now and have not noticed any popping, clunking, or rubbing sounds however.

Good luck man.

I just had a shock replaced, dealer insisted upon an alignment. Long story short dealer messed up the alignment and had 3 trips to the dealer to get it sorted. On last visit they supposedly rotated the tires too. My guess is they just dialed in a little to the left to get it to even out.

All, if the alignment is done before lift, do I need to do alignment again? Got a free alignment from dealer but I am not sure if they are willing to do after I change the suspension~

Yes you will have to do the alignment again after the lift. Depending on how high you go you may need upper control arms to help with caster

Quick question. I put 265/70/18 Wildpeaks on my '17 about a month ago and made sure to do the fender liner mod before hand to ensure no rubbing, which worked out perfectly. However, I just got around to doing an alignment and the passenger side front tire rubs pretty bad on the UCA in reverse. I am only turning the wheel maybe 50% before it starts rubbing. Before the alignment, I could crank it 100% and have zero rub. Did they mess something up with the alignment??

You probably need more positive caster - somewhere along the range of +3 to +4. show your alignment print out.

CaptRog21

What do you think?

Looks like you need to put your caster and toe back closer to where it was before the alignment, but still in normal range, to avoid the rubbing...

Looking for a good alignment shop in the Santa Clarita (preferably), Northridge, North SFV area. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks.

Digging up this old thread.. Picked up a '17, I noticed this on the first mile of the test drive.

It's driving me nuts. Alignment shop says it's perfect. Steering angle sensor says the wheel is turned 6º on most freeways when going straight. Seems excessive.

I like the idea of additional camber on the right front wheel. Might have an alignment shop try that.

After new tires, a lift kit, and two alignments, I still have to pull my GX against the crown of the road. On an empty road, if I move into the other lane, it will pull in the opposite direction. Alignment shop says it's all aligned correctly, so I think it's just something to live with on a heavy BOF ride.
