    Red face Wheel Alignment in Perth

    OK 2nd post...already

    I need to get a wheel alignment done on my 2012 RRS 3.0 TD. She pulls slightly left. Are there any recommended places to go, where they know how to do an alignment correctly for these cars and actually end up with the steering wheel centered as well?

    Tyrepower in Scarborough Beach Rd near Barbagellos gets a good rap for LRs - I go there

    Second Gav's recommendation. When I dropped it in I put it in TTM and turned it off when I picked it up.
    It's the first time in 5 years it has tracked properly.

    Excuse my ignorance but what does TTM stand for?

    Tight tolerance mode. Decent explanation in this thread, amongst others:

    TTM - refused to do it this way?

    I use Tyrepower Perth City, which is actually in Troode St, West Perth.

    Same deal: I drop it off and put it in TTM with my GAP tool. They do the job - very well! And I collect it an hour later, pop it out of TTM and off I go.
    Around $100, IIRC.

    Well I solved 90% of my wheel alignment issues by adjusting the ride height to spec at each wheel using the GAP tool and its very handy built in procedure. After a couple of goes, with a drive in between, to get it as close as I could, the slight left pull is significantly less and possibly not at all as she will go straight if carefully aligned. But perhaps the steering is a bit twitchy and an alignment will help with giving her a better track.

    Getting back to the TTM, do I understand correctly that the car needs to be running when TTM is set and left running for TTM to continue to operate. TTM is shut off if the car is shut down. Is that right or does TTM stay on until shut down again via the GAP tool even if the car is stopped and restarted again?

    It stays in TTM, even with ignition off, until you set it back again.
