Hey guys. I have an '87 runner that I'm having some alignment problems with. It seems if I let go of the wheel I will drift slightly to the right. I just recently checked the air pressure in the tires and one was 40 while the other was 30. So I put them both at 35psi (recommended) and I'm still having some problems with the drift. I'm starting to get worried it's a little more than the tires and I am not excited about paying for some work done on it. Anyone experience this sort of problem, is there anything I can check before I would take it into the shop

 

As far as a check goes, it sounds like you already have that covered. You are going to cook your tires real fast if it is out of alignment. It is prbably a little squirly too. It's worth $40 to get it done. That's one of the first things I did when I got my 91 runner. Just make sure you see a specialist because I lot of the tire places don't have a clue when it comes to non stock tire sizes and they sometimes make it worse.

 

Thanks for the info. Do you know any good chains you might recommend for tire alignments? I should probably just get this out of the way.

 

You know that roads are crowned to shed rain, and as a result vehicles will normally drift to the right.

 

And drifting to the right is a lot safer than drifting to the left

 

Call your local 4 wheel drive shop and ask them who they recommend. The "chains' are rarely any good, they just go by the book. Find the guys who really understand the stuff.

 

I agree
