Pulls right when accelerating

[fryeplace]

I have an 09' Land Cruiser. Does anyone have a problem with the truck pulling slightly to the right when accelerating?

Nope. Get an alignment done. I get them done fairly often.

Toyota uses smooooooooshy bushings in the control arms of these trucks.... good for NHV, not good for power through the front wheels when pushing 400 hp.

do you have agressive tires on the vehicle?

Does it happen when you have passengers, without passengers, or all the time? Is the road smooth, or does it fall to the right for drainage? Have you modded the vehicle, or is it stock? Are you accelerating from a stop, or from a roll? How fast are you accelerating too? Do you push the pedal in all the way, or just a slight acceleration? Are you moving your arm when you push the pedal to accelerate? Do you have proper tire air pressure? Did you use air or nitrogen?

Go get an alignment.

have the same problem on a new tundra with aggressive tires

when it is in 4wd it pulls to the right on hard acceleration.

different tires, no problem........

While in 4WD, which is all the time in my Tundra, I too get some pulling from the 35" tires on stock wheels. Under full throttle it is just a slight...left... right... left... right... oh wait that's because I have a crap load of power from a TRD SUPERCHARGER.

Seriously, IMO the bushings are the probable culprit. Add those on top of the typical crowned road and problems can be encountered. We have what is called a compliance bushing in the lower control arm, rear most mount.... working on a solution.

It's called torque steer.

It's normal and the result of plenty of power.
