hello, my car has been heading off to the left, on closer inspection i found the drivers wheel more worn on the inside edge (after having driven my car 5000 miles), (other side is good) so i swapped the worn tyre for one from the rear, and took the car to the garage for tracking (an expensive computerised four wheel geometry by Hunter Engineering, with computer printout stating the toe was out. however after paying, the car still goes to the left when left to steer on its own. The printour stated 16 inch wheels not 17inch, and also that my model was the later celica, would this have any effect on the result / tracking procedure/ adjustments?
any ideas why it goes to the left (tyres are not worn)?? it is an 97 st with 215 wheels,
thanks for any help
chris

what else did the print out have on it? if your tire is more worn on one side I thought that was a camber issue

if they did the full alignment and its still pulling take it back and tell them, they may not have adjusted something right or they may have adjusted something too much. if thats not it then it could be a problem with the steering linkage on that side.
