I got my TC about 2 mounths ago and love it. I also had the TRD springs put in and love the way it looks and haven't had any problems with speed bumps or anything. The one problem that I do have is that the car doesn't like to drive straight when the road isn't perfect. The car has been realigned by the dealer and doesn't pull to one side or the other. I believe that it has something to do with the change in camber from the drop. Does anyone have a similar problem and if so what did you do. I have seen adjustable camber links for it and was wondering if anyone has put them in to solve the problem I just described?

hmmm, i think it is because of the low profile tires that ur ride wants to move to one direction wen the road isnt perfect. coz with low profile tires tires the flexing of the sidewall is limited so low pro tires tend to track the road more.. but is this happens on smooth roads, then it's either a toe, camber or a caster problem..

 

look at the tread on the tires. If the edges of the tread sort up slop up a tad, it's the toe. Do this, drive down a quiet street, with the windows down and the stereo off, cruise about 20-25 and just let it cruise in neutral, if you hear a squishing noise, that will also be an indicator it could be the toe. I don't ever take it to the dealer for alignment because they always do it wrong. I have had to pay 40 bucks somehwere else everytime they feel like messin with my alignment, my steering wheel is off center now because they messed with it.

There is also a camber kit required for the rear I am pretty pretty sure of. If your ___ end feels a little slippery when you hit holes in the road and such, it could very well be a camber problem. Definitely have another reputable shop check it out.

Or make the dealer show you the printout of your alignment and have them compare it to the specs. I had to do that to shut them up. They kept telling me I was wrong.

 

This scares me. If the dealer is screwing things up then who can I turn to . They are suppose to be the last and most expensive resort.

 

I have just heard of a few people besides myself who have had problems with just the alignment. That is all. I don't want you to think the dealer will be worse for everything. I just don't trust the alignment.
