My car pulls to the right

Asked by David

After I tested the front diff locks on my 2017 Toyota Landcruiser on flat grass in a padlock I then found when driving on highway it was pulling to the right.

Is this something I can have looked at by the dealer, or do I just save the time and take it to the tyre centre to have the wheel alignment checked? Do we have to have the dealer do our fixed price service? As we are mechanics can we do this ourselves without affecting the warranty?

I would want to check the diff locks to make sure they fully unlocked after you checked them, so I would take it to the dealer. They would also be able to check the wheel alignment for you. You can get the car serviced anywhere you like, you can do it yourselves if you are qualified mechanics without affecting the new car warranty, but you would have to take it to a Toyota dealer to take advantage of the capped-price deal.
