    Update...

    Took it back today, they removed and re-fitted all tyres (flipped them around and lined up the dot with the valve stem), re-balanced and did another wheel alignment - Left 1.2 Right 1.0...

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. It's going back in the morning, I'll get the alignment done again and raise the number of weights and see what they say. If there's no joy after that it'll be off to...

    This is my 4th set of D697s (2 sets on a prado, 1 set on a hilux and now the patrol). Never had an issue before so stuck with them.

    Just thinking - the front left has no weights on it and is the odd one out it seems. Is it possible it missed being balanced? Or is balance only for up/down wobble? Not side pull?

    Cheers,
