Car does not keep moving straight - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I do not know if this has been discussed. My Camry is approaching the 36,000 warranty. So I thought to ask to find out if the car needs a free warranty adjustment/repair.

Recently by comparing with driving a 2004 corolla, the Camry noticeably can not keep moving straight. I need to adjust the steering wheel more often than the Corolla. It is more stressful driving because I need to concentrate more even if the road is straight.

Any one know if this is a real problem?

nvm.

check your alignment. or going to the dealer is your best bet

That means he's not going straight when he wants to...

Anyway, that could possibly point to an alignment issue. I dunno if that's covered under warranty, but you should have that checked out anyway.

Alignment and wheel balance as mentioned. Hopefully no previous accidents.

Alignment for sure, my old corolla does that too, got it alligned and it goes straight.

All of the above and check your tires pressure.

Thanks for the advices. I forgot to say the car had alignment done before, The tire wear looks normal and even. Tires are also properly inflated. I am not convinced this is an alignment issue.

Go to your dealer. The most they can say is it's not covered under warranty.

Is your wheel shaking? or do you just have to turn it left or right a bit to go straight ?

i have an alignment done once a year..every year...it's not just a one time thing and you're set for the life of the car.

I do not like to go to the dealer because it needs a lot of time.

I just have to turn it left or right a bit to go straight like you said.

do you usually have to turn it one way? or does it change?

alignment, but not at the electrical ones.

try bears alignment if they have it in your area. Alignment shops who do everything by hand are the best and 100% accurate if they know what they're doing.
