Hello,
I just recently put new tires on my truck. I put on Nokian Outpost nAT 285/75/16. The tire place and many others are unsure if they are going to be able to do an alignment since they are not OEM size. What have you guys done or have you had a similar issue?
Hi All - new to me 2018lx570. 129k, no accidents reported. Put on new michelins and got an alignment wit the following printout. Noticed the steering wheel is off center ot the left a efw degrees, but noticeable. Called the shop already for them to take a look, but should I be asking them to...
Hello,
I am replacing timing belt for the first time, and I wasn't sure of the alignment I got. I matched all the marks when installing, rotated the engine several times, and finally pulled the tensioner. After that I ended up with the following situation. Is this considered aligned or not?
I just installed new upper control arms and am about to take it to an alignment shop. is it standard practice to torque the nuts at ride height? that's of course what I did, but do the alignment shops know to do that?
Front axle alignment tool. Never used. Pics below are the first time I removed the parts out of their original packaging. Don't own any more land cruisers so it's time to pass it along. Looking online, prices are all over the place for this tool - $539 - $285.
$300 shipped anywhere in the lower...

Ok, my wife drives a 2016 570 with the 21 inch tires. It seems the front tires, on the very outside edge of the tire, get chewed up within30k miles, the remainder of the front tires are easily at 50%. Every year I have the Lexus dealer put the vehicle on the alignment machine to check...
Embarrassed to ask but just installed a 2.5” list and larger 33” tires on my 1970 FJ40. Other than slight cruiser lean it turned out great. Was planning on getting an alignment based on some recommendations but when I drive the truck it tracks perfectly straight and doesn’t seem to be out of...
I’m going to take advantage of the 25% off sale at Ironman and had some questions.
Initially I only wanted to go as high as a 1.5 with a Dobinson kit, however the 2” Ironman is on sale, free delivery and diff drop included for $1100.
So the question is, with a 2” lift, will I run into...
I noticed recently that my passenger side rear wheel appears to sit further inside the wheel well than my driver side rear wheel and my two front wheels by about 1/4- 1/2” relative to the fenders and mud flaps.
I am running OEM 20” wheels (2014 LX 570) all around (and do 5 wheel rotation - my...
They aligned when the car had very little gas in the tank.. Which I think is not great for a tank that sit on one side.
They are supposed to warranty the work 12 month /12,000
Is this guaranteed by Lexus? Can I have another dealership redo the alignment?
Getting someone to call me back about...
I'm looking for some alignment advice. Sorry to start another alignment thread, but I've read through as many as I can with search. I have a 2" Dobinsons MRA lift with Dobinsons UCA. I'm getting some tire wear on the outer edges, squeaking on the pavement when turning sharp at low speeds, and...
I'm rebuilding my knuckle housing after a leaking seal and in doing so, the novice that I am, didn't take note of the shim order. As I read through the manual I now understand the importance of this and I'm wondering, without having to spend a fortune on getting hold of an SST from somewhere...
Hey all. Restoring a `66 FJ40, keeping this rig as was, minus necessary upgrades. Just noticed the water pump alignment is off after putting on new belt. The alt. and crank are aligned, albeit the alt. bracket is either backwards or something, as there's a nut spacer going to the water pump. It...
