Alignment spec bad??

[tacorancher]

Service dept showed me this and said alignment doesn’t need any adjustment because the “steering wheel may have been turned” - could be the most dumb fuck thing I’ve ever heard - I don’t know how to read this - caster being positive is fine because that gives tire clearance - but the left camber spec is bugging me - any thoughts ?

Edit - caster is not postitive enough! What idiots !

Bet it pulls to the right. Definitely needs to be realigned.

Because of camber or thrust? From what I understand you can’t change thrust.

here is mine for example. Top is stock Off Roaad suspension and bottom is after swapping springs

I hope that helps

Why push caster even further out of spec

Camber, will pull to the side with the most positive. Also camber is a tire wearing angle as is toe. Caster on the other hand is not a tire wearing angle but it will keep your vehicle going straight.

I wish I had found this post earlier because my vehicle has been in twice. The first time I complained of it slightly pulling and Wright on a level road so took it in and their senior tech said if he set the alignment numbers to what is connected to the VIN number it wouldn’t be right so they got Toyota corporate For whoever that may be involved and they gave him numbers and the numbers they gave him which I will post up were so bad it annihilated my two front tires and under 3000 miles so when I brought it back the second time, the tires were so bad that it got their attention immediately And Toyota Corperation actually open their own case on my TH and actually took it for a week and then it came back with two new tires on the back and the back tires rotated to the front. Now I have only driven about 1300 miles since then, and although at the moment it does seem better, the general consensus amongst my friends that are in various parts of the auto world all agree we believe they have a geometry issue in both the TH and the pro. I will post up the first settings they set and I won’t then post up the second settings they setmy wheels to via corporate taking my vehicle.

This was the first time corporate got involved which destroyed the tires and under 3000 miles

And this is the second time when Toyota Corperation took my truck for an entire week because the tires got burned down under 3000 miles. The keynote here is Toyota, corporate open their own case on my truck.
