When I purchased my TLS about 2m ago the car would drift to the left so when I had the springs changed last weekend I decided to also have an alignment done.

Unfortunately, the alignment hasnt corrected the problem and the car continues to drift to the left, any ideas on what else could be causing this to happen???

 

i had the same issue with my last car after i hit a bear cub (yes you read correctly). the car never got better. could be that the previous owner of your TL had a little snafu with a roadblock.

otherwise you can always take it back and ask the alignment shop to check it again because it drifts. did you buy it from dealer? if so make them fix it first.

do you know the history of your car? or the previous owner? is the steering wheel on the car not the original? did the airbags ever deploy? if either answer is yes then chances are if the steering wheel was removed that it wasn't put on straight. just a thought.

also how good are your tires? an extremely worn front left tire could cause pull. not to mention are you talking about during acceleration or when you're just driving straight?

SSTS

 

I purchased the car from a private seller that did have a front end damage to the passenger side of the car so that might be related. steering wheel is original and airbags didnt deploy, the car was parked when it was hit.

the tires might also be a problem, they're pretty worn and will be replaced soon.

the drift occurs during driving straight.

 

Sometimes your tires might do that. Try swapping the rears to the front. Otherwise start looking at the suspension.

 

check your suspension and your control arm area might be bent due to the accident

 

just took mine in for a left pull also. I thought it was alignment. after align, tech said pull still present. Probably due to a cupping I had in tire or even a radial pull in a tire...like said above, try rotating them. Mine are in pretty good shape tho too. Might just be time for you to get some new kicks.

 

yea its probably the tires, all damaged parts were replaced after the accident, thanx.
