Wink Re: One more Question!!

Give us a little more detail? Is the steering not correct on the truck( does not go straight). Or is the a problem in the column it self (won't tilt, ignition lock stuck, turn signals, cruise control, loose, makes noise,.....).

Re: One more Question!!

Before you drive yourself crazy, make sure your tire pressures are all even. If they are, take your vehicle in and have them check for worn suspension parts, bad tires, etc.. It is silly to perform an alignment without fixing the underlying problem first.

Re: One more Question!!

Has it been taken to a body shop ? If so, did they have to do anything with your frame ? It sounds like you need to perform a thorough visual of your undercarriage to look for bent components and such.

Re: One more Question!!

The vehicle came with a full-size spare, if that's the one you're on. I hope your frame isn't bent and your suspension is OK. If so, new tires might be the answer. I'm assuming you don't have a bent wheel. Fortunately, the Trailvoys are pretty damn tough in wrecks - meaning the occupants usually survive without serious injury - which is a good thing for an SUV. But damage to the vehicle can be hard to pin down. I know that when my brother's new Lexus SUV got wrecked a couple years ago he tried his mightiest to get the inscos to just total it. They refused, kept insisting it could be fixed. Well, guess what, they ended up spending as much $$$ at the Lexus dealer's shop to get it fixed right as he paid for the thing originally. Good luck.

Re: One more Question!!

usually if they bodyshop has done repairs like the front end, they will get a front end alignment for you.
