2022 Lexus GX 460 — alignment still pulls after tires were rotated

DetailGarage95Community StarterAug 18, 20262022 Lexus GX 460Seattle
2022 Lexus GX 460, about 48,000 miles. Car started pulling slightly right after a tire rotation. Alignment printout is technically in spec. Is it worth cross-rotating tires to check radial pull before paying for another alignment? Any data points from owners would help.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2022 Lexus GX owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Lexus GX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2022 Lexus GX in Seattle, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “alignment still pulls after tires were rotated,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2022 Lexus GX in Seattle with 48,000 miles. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Lexus GX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. That's the whole play. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

OP update: I tried the earlier suggestion and it only happens under that one condition. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2022 Lexus GX. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Following up on alignment still pulls after tires were rotated: still happening, but I have better notes now. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Same neighborhood, different next step: On the 2022 Lexus GX in Seattle, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “alignment still pulls after tires were rotated,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2022 Lexus GX before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Lexus GX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Asking because it changes the advice: Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2022 Lexus GX before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I parked the 2022 Lexus GX and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
