ST005-01
Title REPAIR MANUAL SUPPLEMENT:
VEHICLE PULLING TO ONE SIDE
All '02 Models.
Date December 21, 2001
This TSB was sent to me by the Parts and Service Director where I bought the 04 Solara.
It states a correction for Toyota 02 vehicles that pull to the left or right.
The TSB from the dealer is not the same as what alldata.com states for TSB ST005-01
Alldata.com TSB is for steering column vibration not pulling on a 2002 Lexus Truck.
ST005-01 DEC 01 Tilt/Telescopic Steering Column - Squeak/Vibration
How can I find the correct TSB? Is alldate.com wrong?
What is real interesting is now that the TSB has been applied to my car it now handles exactly as the problem is stated in the TSB.
I hate to be so long winded on this but I will quote the introduction.
"This bulletin contains general vehicle pulling diagnosis and repair procedures along with specific information to help correct pulling complaints.
The driver holds the steering wheel without exerting steering effort while driving straight ahead, the vehicle drifts to the right or the left.
While driving straight ahead, the driver has to steer either to the right or the left to maintain straight driving."
That states exactly what my car does.
