Hi guys please help, so after the alignment was done on my 2007 tl types, it still pulling to the left i have this problem since last year when my wife had an accident. I am not a mechanic but the guy who did the alignment said that everything in suspention looks good. Can you tell anything from the picture. Thanks.

 

Showing us a picture of your suspension would be more useful to check for any damages

 

yes, but if the suspension is bent and your eyes physically cant see where its bent, showing us a picture of the suspension will be useless.

<---------hit another curb and tried to fix myself, only to realize EVERYTHING LOOKED STRAIGHT and couldnt find the bent piece.
took it to a shop.

Also, the alignment sheet that the OP is showing looks spot on. toe is equal to zero.
I cant tell what the red number says tho...

 

Try rotating the front tires side to side.

While the car is on a flat surface, measure the distance between the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel on one side then compare that measurement to the other side. If different, frame/suspension problem.

 

I don't like numbers equaling zero etc. means you can have one at the upper and one at the lower threshold and have issues.

 

This could be a few things other then the alignment. As the other members have said, you could have a bent (Although hardly noticeable to the naked eye) suspension part. I would take it back, or to another shop (Not saying you can't trust that one) to get a second opinion. And mention that you are looking for anything that could be damaged.

Have you also checked your tires? It's rather unlikely, but I have seen people come in tp my shop with oddly worn tires (Usually from a bad alignment) that even with the alignment straight as an arrow, have pulling issues.

 

What's going on with your rear alignment settings?

The tech set your left rear wheel with 7 degrees of positive toe and the right rear wheel with the 6 degrees of negative toe. Essentially, your rear left wheel is toe out and the right wheel toe in leaving your wheels pointing like this : \ \

This would cause the rear of your car to drift to the left with no correction of the steering wheel.

The Green lines on the rear wheels represent the general direction your wheels are currently set at.

Bring the car back to the alignment shop, tell them it pulls to the left, and have them do it again. Keep a copy of your original results. If they cant adjust it to track correctly on the road, you likely have a suspension piece worn or bent.

 

Actually the reversal is true, left is toe in (positive), right toe out (negative).
If the rear wheels were set at +7 and -6 degrees, the car would be going down the road sideways, but they are .07/-.06 degrees, <1/32" and shouldn't be a problem. I do agree that both should be the same, zero, for optimal performance.

 

This is the easiest thing to start with. I am a honda tech and this is what I would do if a customer came in with a similar complaint. I would actually swap tires prior to doing the alignment to rule out a bad tire before taking there 89.95 for the cost of an alignment. Sometimes there isn't a visible defect in the tire but under the load of a vehicle it can cause a pull.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Before i did the alignment i did swap the tires and still the same pull to the left.

 

Did you take measurements on each side?

 

Yes I did just like youu said from the centter of the. Front to the center of the rear both sides and the measurment are the same. What else can cause this pull problem ???

 

If the rotation of the wheel/tire didn't help, and the measurements are the same both sides, and if the alignment is fine??????????????
Take the car to a flat area and drive straight through some water and make certain the rear wheels track equally with the front wheels. The TL has F/R track, 62.1"/61.1", so the fronts will be out farther than the rear, but looking at the imprint you'll see if a problem.

 

Although I've never seen it happen, might want to check the left brake system/caliper sticking. I've had cars with one front brake burning because of a sticking caliper or a collapsed brake line and have never had one pull during the test, but still wouldn't hurt to check.

As the car was in an accident, what was the damage sustained?
