| We own 2002 celica gt-s. it has had to have 4 sets of tires in 85,000 miles. at the last alignment the technician could not get the 2 rear tires in alignment with the front 2 tires. the problem were the rear tie rods. he got a set of adjustable tie rods & replaced the factory tie rods and was able to get all 4 tires in proper alignment. my son had an accident previously where he lost traction and skidded off the road but with no injuries thank god. i took the tie rods to the anderson toyota dealer & they said they had never seen that problem. but they did not show any concern whatsoever. i think it would have been prudent for them to get some information & check their service bulletins. but i guess the fellow had found a comfortable position on the stool he was occupying. i am concerned this may be a defect and would like for someone with the proper knowledge to look into this. i was not seeking anything from ralph hayes toyota. i approached them as a gentleman & left with the same demeanor. but i would like to make sure this is not a problem common to this particular automobile. it is a 2002 toyota celica gts. thank you. i do not have a copy of the incident report to give correct date of accident but the tie rod issue became apparent about 3 weeks ago. the car has been in the shop until that time. *tr | |||
