Default 09 4 cyl Camry Pulls to left

Car has a slight pull to left. Noticable when traveling on Interstate Highway at speed.
Checked air pressure, both front tires the same.
10,000 miles on new Dunlop 5000 sport tires. Have not rotated yet.
Someone said have to rotate every 5000 miles. How important is that and would it effect the front end to pull.

Try swapping front tires and determine if the pull changes.

Check for a dragging brake or wheel bearing issue.

Check with the Toyota dealer about any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that deal with this issue. In the past Toyota issued a TSB for other years on this issue. The fix involved taking the suspension apart and reorienting the strut.

If nothing is found wrong, alignment is OK and no TSB applies a competent alignment shop can install adjustment devices that will allow the suspension to be adjusted beyond factory specs.

Default pull to left

Thanks for the information.
I had the tires rotated, will take it on the interstate and see if it's changed..

Who would I check with for TSB's . Would the service advisor be the person or do I have to go to 1st line mgt?

Any Toyota dealer service manager should have the info. Take in your license registration as TSB's application is to a car is based on the cars VIN.
