Vehicle pulls after alignment

[salmonz]

Came back from the dealer today... they said it's because I have aftermarket rotors. I bought non-dealer rotors back in June and my car was driving fine before the road incident this Wednesday.

Here's the rotors I have:

I asked the dealer if the wheel has runout, if they checked the wheel bearing and steering knuckle. They said come back Thursday to have the tech that originally worked on the vehicle to take a look with me in the shop.

If I had to buy Toyota rotors, that's $99 each. I just have a feeling that the dealer will say anything to get out of doing the job properly.

p.s.
Tire "runout" should be 1.4mm or less.
Axle hub "backlash" should not exceed 0.05mm
Axle hub "runout" should not exceed 0.05mm

They have not provided these measurements.

those rotors should not have anything to do with alignment... demand that the car goes back on the alignment rack, and that they take a picture of the steering wheel being level, and the alignment angles being correct... this way, there is no possibility of them arguing that you cannot be in the shop based on insurance...

also, you might want to start talking to management, and discussing whether or not you need to start talking to corporate, as this dealer is trying to play games with you...

if they were to say that you have a bent component, and can prove it, i would believe it, but blaming the rotors for a pull on the freeway is grasping at straws...
