Yaris randomly pulls to the right. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks Egg, great stuff. This is fairly random, I ride this stretch of road all the time with my bus on air suspension, and the dips are very pronounced before the levelling valves kick in. Yep, I remember each and every one!

My method of checking tie-rods and such is "grab and shake". If nothing rattles, all is well (Toyota specs 0mm, so it's pretty easy to spot.) The wheel bearing is 0.05mm... You'll never spot that by hand, mind you, going up to say .1mm usually only results in tire cupping and "dead" ABS sensors, as far as I read. It takes some significant play before things get iffy (and noisy!)

I don't think it's the wheel bearing, unlike the girlfriend's Beetle... I swear her wheel is going to fly off one day soon... But I do need to check these rotors for trueness before noticeable wear kicks in (for warranty purposes).

I have one of those "alignment checks" booked. That should get my camber and caster checked out if either are culprit.
