Can anyone comment on the best manuals for just basic maintenance? How are Haynes and Chiltons for Toyotas? I didn't care for them for Hondas and picked up an official shop manual on helminc.com but they don't have Toyotas.

Wwest has been on the stearing kick for a while now, but we indulge him.
 
Mikefm58, you may be interested in some of the online sources in the Online Repair Manuals guide. The Technical Information System is one listed there for Toyota, but it's not cheap.

Re: dealer performed alignment, but steering still slightly off? [wwest] by 05highlander05

Hi,
 
i told the dealer that when I drive down a straight road the steering wheel is not centered, but it's slightly off to the right. I guess being that they are pro's they would know what that meant. If my steering wheel is exactly centered the vehicle pulls slowly to the right...not good.

Oh, different "story"...
 
ALL, or almost all, of our roads in the US are crowned at the center to provide for quick water run-off. That results in vehicle pulling (sliding really) to the right even if the alignment is correct with the stearing wheel perfectly centered.

It's steering, not stearing.

You just can't convince Mr. West that he is wrong about the correct spelling for steering. He is obviously a knowledgeable fellow who cannot admit he is wrong regardless of the facts.

at this point should I let the service manager know or just tell the service advisor to have the tech fix it?

I don't dispute that "Steering" is probably now the more common spelling but at the same time I find that "stearing" is still widely used.
 
So, IMMHO there is no "right or wrong" of it.
 
So I'll go with what I learned in Mr. Furman's 5th grade class at primos.
