Hi guys, I bought 4 brand new TOYO TEO tyres from tyre power in canningvale. Everything is ok EXCEPT my wheel alligment is completley out. At first, my steering wasnt straight and i had to go back for a few times to get them to fix it. Eventually, i managed to ask my friend who is an exprerince mechanic to straighten my steering wheel for me At no cost. But the car keeps pulling to the left if i let go my steering for more than 5 seconds. I just want someone who is good at what he is doing to fix my problem. Please note, before i had 4 brand new tyres, my steering is straight as. Now, i am just not happy at all. I still can put up with it but it is just annoying me that if i let go the steering, the car is pulls to the left :spiteful:

Did you get the specs of the alignment? If you did compare it to the one that SD has put up in the suspension pages.

+1 on a good wheel alignment place. i went to bob jane cannington and i had go there 3 times to get it straight <_<

plus can they make adjustments to the alignment to improve cornering, tyre life etc on a stock corolla?

I'm just using anywhere where they can get my car up on the alignment machine :lol:

Anywhere really seems to do a good job on my car. But i normally tell them what specs I want.

The best place is the place that charges least :P

Also they can't make major changes on the factory suspension unless you have camber bolts..

I'm learning/doing wheel alignments at work at the moment i must say its pretty simple but also hard depending on the technique you use :huh:

if your having that much trouble with your car it maybe due to Tyre directional rotation?? are they on the right side?? maybe Tyre pressures aren't right?

Vu, everything checked. But the problem is still there. I will check the print out first so that i know what i want them to do next time. Thanks for your suggestion

How'd you go with the comparison?

Are we talking about Torque steer here,all vehicles are designed to pull to the left as a safety mechanism but if you're accelerating & it pulls sharply (like an oversteer feel) then it may be mechanical?

I talk with the Boys from Tyrepower Cvale all the time as i give my own specs for mine all the time (from past adjustments) & they'de set me up accordingly bearing in mind i have Camber bolts fitted,do have any non stock items on you car like struts or camber bolts?

Before the alligment, my car is running straight but now the car is pulling to the left. I dont think is mechanical problem. They suggested me to get a set of camber bolts and then they can set it as straight as possible. How come this problem only happen after they put 4 brand new tyres for me? What specs do you tell them to do? U mean the spec that posted on our forum? Be honest, i really dont know how to compare between my figure that they have given me with the spec posted on this forum? Thanks in advance
