Emergency stuck at work

[WenatcheeSkier]

So my 4runner just started pulling hard left. Steering wheel clocked 90 degees left to go straight. How does that happen? My tie rods look fine. Put it on the lift at work and one tire was pointing right. The other straight....any thoughts

Inner tie rod broken? loosen the clamps on dust boots at either end of the rack and slide to inspect the inner tie rods. Use OEM parts for the steering.

This doesn't seem like it would be that hard to diagnose. Look at the rack bushings, maybe the whole rack shifted. Or else its internal to the rack. Of course we are assuming nothing else is wrong with your suspension.

So the rear A-arm alignment bold was hand tight after a logging road run......

I wouldn't blame it on the logging road run; I would blame it on whoever did the alignment after your suspension install.

LMAO. I'd agree. I've been on 100's of miles of dirt and rock and mine are still tight.

That would be a good plot twist.
The alignment was done at Les Schwab, " we come running ready to forget to tighten things and get you out the door in a hurry" should be their moto.

time to talk with their customer service :sniper:
