Hey man!
Sorry to hear about all the trouble. Especially with long driving to get the stuff fixed.
About alignment, I had it bad on all 4 Toyotas that we had:unsure:. Do not know what's up with that. All that stuff was fixed by Toyota dealer. On my Camry I had to visit them 3 times (the last 2 times tech was riding with me, they did not believe it was pulling, were blaming the road), before they got it right, that was in 2000.
After I bought this one in 2007. It was the same story all over again. Went there with my 20' limited wheels and it was fixed. At 12K started pulling to the right, no problem fixed again. At around 18k vibration when applying brakes. Went to the dealer, they fixed it. First they tried to resurface my rotors, did not help, so they put the brand new ones under the warranty.
The only advice from me is insist on fixing it, if they can't let them take it to the place where they can, they can take it to any tire shop or other dealer, let them pay for it.
Anyhow you made the right choice, Good truck
just a little hassle at the beginning. And trust me I know what it takes to go to the dealer with stupid face 3 times and ask them
to fix it.
