GS 450h V6-3.5L (2GR-FSE) Hybrid (2007)
When the cross camber or caster of the front wheel alignment is large, it can cause vehicle pulling.
If the cross camber or caster is within the specified range (30' or less), noticeable vehicle pulling will not occur due to side-to-side differences in
camber or caster.
NOTE
On a flat road, if the cross camber or caster is 30' or less and the steering wheel is held without exerting steering effort for 109 yards (100 m) when
driving at 62 mph (100 km/h), the alignment-induced drift distance is approximately 1.64 feet (0.5 m).
2. Relationship Between Tire Characteristics and Vehicle Pulling to One Side
When radial tires are rotating, they have the characteristic of generating force in the lateral direction between the tire and the road surface. This
lateral force is comprised of two factors:
^ Ply-steer, which changes direction according to the rotation direction of the tires.
^ Conicity, which is generated in a fixed direction regardless of the tire rotation direction.
If these lateral forces are too strong, vehicle pulling will occur.
