Thread: Car drifts to the left after service

Rang the dealer and will get the tyres re-rotated again to see if that corrects it.

Not sure when the last allignment was done as I've only had it for 12000k. I'll be putting new tyres on it within 3-6 months so it will get an allignment then. Just don't want to be doing an allingnment now when it was running fine and straight and I'll be doing the tyres soon.

Will see early next week if it is fixed.

Sounds like you need a wheel alignment especially if your tyres are nearing the end of their life. I have had the same thing after rotation. My dealer did for free as the car was still under warranty. I have had to pay $80 on another occasion for an alignment after getting new tyres. Are you sure they did not do an alignment on the service. Usually when they get the alignment wrong (I have experienced this more than once) you end up with the steering wheel off centre and the car wants to pull left.
Very suspicious of overinflated tyres after a nasty incident after picking my old Rangie up from service. Had to do an emergency stop, skidded for 20 or 30 metres in the dry nearly into busy crossroads and my speed was only 30k! Couldn't believe how little grip I had and sure enough when I got home I found that the garage had pumped tyres up to 45 psi when I normally have them at 30/32psi. I have a friend with a hilux who has experienced exactly the same thing when his car has been serviced at a Toyota dealer. He questioned them on it and they said "Oh yes we always do that, it's gives better fuel consumption". I have run factory tyre pressures on my D3 since I first got it in 05 and never had grip problems. I would never trade grip for better fuel consumption and tyre wear.
