Steering Pulling to the Right (1 Viewer)

[AwgustLab]

2013 GX 460 - Just bought 2 weeks ago from a dealer in AZ (transported to NM) who insisted it was not that way when it left the lot. The deal is reimbursing me for an alignment, which I got but it is still pulling and veering to the right. Rotated tires, still the same. Alignment place said the front struts are shot, recommends tires all around and new struts. Tires that came on the GX are over 5 years old. Dealer advertised them as "great condition". yeah, right. And the struts being toast is not cool since they claim their inspection on all vehicles before going on the lot for sale, is above and beyond what any other used car dealer does. Currently they are reviewing my complaints and I am awaiting to see if they do anything regarding these issues. I searched the FB Group for "pulls right" and saw others had experienced this issue, too but I really could not find a real solution. Could it be the struts? I am just hoping not to get into a huge rabbit hole with this issue, because it is driving me crazy when I drive it.

Appreciate any thoughts from the group here. Thanks!

The only time I've had issues with mine pulling was when I blew-out the bushing for my aftermarket upper control arm on the drivers side.
Have you checked all the bushings and ball joints? Jack up the front end so the tire is off the ground and tug really hard on each tire to see if anything moves/jiggles like something's lose.

Although, if the used car dealer comp's you the cost of front suspension, if you're planning on a build, you could apply this to aftermarket! This will get you off to a good start!

I do plan a build so just waiting to see how this goes with the dealer first. Was not planning to drop my own $$$ into it right off the bat for this issue.

They offered 2 replacement tires. I am requesting them to pick it up, transport it back to the dealer, and a full refund.
