Default Need advice on 05 2wd Tacoma alignment.

My 05 DC Sport 2WD is about a month old and about 600 miles on it.

When I got it it pulled slightly to the right when I drove it.

I changed the Dunlop tires to Mitchelin and driving home noticied it pulled to the right more than before.

I took it to my neighbor hood alignment shop and they aligned it. They have always done a great job on alignments for me.
After the alignment it pulled streight on a flat road. It was great on a flat streight road.

However driving on city streets or the freeway as soon as the road had a slight crown the truck pulled, first to the right than to the left, always had to correct the steering, like walking a dog on a leash, slight pull in one direction or the other all the time.

I read everything I could in thes forum, really some great stuff, the thread about Tundra alignment really helped, it said get a Hunter Alignment and print out.

I tried, I called the Hunter Distrect manager and he gave me the name of three alignment shops here that have the latest equipment.

I called them and the first two said they do not do a print out, the last one said he usually does not give a print out that on pickups and cars he uses gages that don't have a print out but if I got a 4 wheel alignment he would be able to give me a print out.

It costs twice as much and was wondering if this sounds right or if it is BS.

I want to do whatever I have to do to get it right and any feedback from the group would be welcome.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
