[njerald]

This is an old TSB that was discussed in a thread back in June. It merely lists the troubleshooting tree/steps that the dealer needs to take.
ST005-01 REPAIR MANUAL SUPPLEMENT: VEHICLE PULLING TO ONE SIDE (REVISED) 4/4/2006 - 2002 – 2007 model year Toyota vehicles. 2004 – 2007 model year Scion vehicles.

This bulletin contains general vehicle pulling diagnosis and repair procedures along with specific information to help correct pulling complaints.

This information supplements Repair Manual procedures when the symptoms are:

�� The driver holds the steering wheel without exerting steering effort while driving
straight ahead, the vehicle drifts to the right or the left.
�� While driving straight ahead, the driver has to steer either to the right or the left to maintain straight driving.

Njerald, any chance to see the TSB to see what they do...I didn't know about this TSB until today, I had this problem since day one, I mentioned to the dealer and they never said anything about a TSB to fix this..

thanks

hey El Tano, I thought that crappy 'pulling to the left' you had was finally resolved by a independent garage? Did it come back?

[El Tano]

Well is not totally fixed, way better but not good like te other car that I drive. This TSB may have the solution that I was looking for....

[El Tano]

Bump... I would really like to see the tsb..

Thanks

my XLE has gone in twice for this problem and it still has it. I actually think it is worse now.

Originally I had to hold the wheel to the right in order to go straight. I took it in and I then had to hold the wheel to the left to go straight. I took it back a week later and it seemed better but now i have to hold it a bit to the right and it drifts on the road alot. What should I do? Does anyone have this TSB in PDF? I've never driven a car that I had to costantly tweak the steering wheel while driving to avoid drifting off the road so I just don't think it is normal but I don't want to complain if I'm wrong.... Any advice?
