Alignment (tracking) on a Lexus RX450H in Crouchend N8

Customer called the office to say that his car was pulling to the right and would we be able to check the tracking on it. He had taken it to a fast fit garage but they had not been able to correct the problem. Appointment arranged for Saturday when he would be available.

 

Got to the customer and talked to him about the problem, he said that the tyre pressures had been checked and they were all ok (we still double checked to make sure). Checked the tyres out and the passenger front tyre was showing feathering on the edge, this is caused by the tyre not running true and scrubbing the tread so that a small feathered edge can be felt on the edge of the treads.

 

Got the alignment bars out and fitted them to the car, the reading came back that the alignment was out by 4 degrees.

 

Loosened the track rod end locking nuts (these had not been loosened for some time as they were seized solid) and started the adjustment, this took about 15 minutes and the customer was very interested in how it is done so we explained the process as we went along. Once the alignment was correct the track rod end bolts where tightened up and we asked the customer to take the car out for a quick drive to make sure he was happy.

 

Came back and said that car no longer pulled to the left.

 

Packed all the equipment away and took payment.

 

If your car is pulling to one side first check that your tyre pressures are correct, if they are call us and we can come to you to adjust the alignment to the manufactures specification.
