Anybody know how to align the 08 Yaris?

[Moses]

I just lowered my 08 HBK Yaris with Some Tigertec lowering springs and now my car pulls to the left. Any DIY's out there? Thanks for your consideration.

gotta put it on an alignment rack, but if it is pulling to the left it sounds like something it wrong

after lowering the Yaris it should not pull, unless the springs did not give you an even drop from the pass to driver side

You need to take the car to a garage that has a wheel alignment machine like this Hunter unit = http://www.hunter.com/PUB/product/ALIGNMENTSYSTEMS/index.htm
Should cost between $100 and $150
And make sure you are sitting in the car when the alignment is getting done..

Had mine aligned on a similar bench for ca $40. But yeah, that's the easiest way to have the wheels aligned. I was told you can only correct the alignment on the front wheels of the Yaris. Mine might have been in an accident (bought it 6 months old), so the rear wheels were slightly off, nothing to help it too.

$100-$150? WHAT?

It only costs around $85 tax incl. at KalTire and they use a unit similar to that one in the link.

I usually align once a year due to the potholes around here.

Let the springs settle in first if the pull isn't too bad/dangerous. After around 2 weeks you should be good to get it aligned.

you only need to be in the car while it is aligned if you weigh in over 300 pounds... and even then not so much... an alignment is done by adjusting various angles according to MANUFACTURER specifications... there is also a very big safety issue with having the vehicle owner sitting in the car, and to do an alignment, there is a brake pedal depressor and steering wheel holding tool... please do not advise people to insist on sitting in the vehicle, because that is the wrong way for an alignment... /rant

If you want the alignment process to take into account your weight you will have to be sitting in the car,but as its just a Yaris and not a serious race car i guess you can skip this step..as for price?it varies, if you want it done to racing specs you will be paying more than if you are just getting a generic alignment.I'm basing the need for perfection on a racing spec Miata not a daily driver Yaris..

Can any one tell me where to get wheel alignment specification for Yaris HB 2007 as Here in Karachi the wheel alignment garages I could find do not have the exact caster, camber & toe etc. settings for this model. Infact they are doing alignment on some other toyota models settings as corolla. Need help..

you have to simulate the weight somehow I usually just 150 pounds of sand bags.
