- Thea are some must do steps to setting up the alignment correctly. If someone tells you different they are not who you want to do your alignment. If someone does not do this they are doing a disservice to their customers or lazy. Make sure these steps are done and you will have your vehicle riding the way it’s should.
Wish I had such competent people in my area. Shame.
This is exactly why I come to you guys for all my suspension work . Thank you Westscott for taking the time to do it right and being so thorough !!! You have worked on both of my trucks . my wife's 2019 4 Runner and my 2011 Tacoma and we are very pleased with the work . A customer for life !!!
Very informative. Is there a baseline setting for adjusting for “right-side” road crown? I saw that on a report after Toyota aligned my 4Runner. And a video on how to not bend the cam tabs would be cool as my dealership bent a couple of mine. Thanks
We like to set the caster split at .5 higher on the passenger side to allow for the crown of the road. This helps to get the truck to drive straight instead of forcing it with to much toe in. To much toe in causes excessive wear on the tires and forces the wheels to try and drive under the vehicle not allowing the suspension to relax. We never go over .2 total toe in
Thanks for the fast reply and explanation, all the best!
I have Gen 4 Pro and it came from the factory out of alignment. Didn't notice the front wheels were canted inward until 1K miles. Toyota did an alignment, but to the specs of a 23 Pro because it the 24 wasn't in the system yet. To me, they still look a little canted. Any suggestions?
Currently have a 24 limited tundra. Looking to install a 3/1 westcott collar lift, what are your suggestions on the upper control arm? Do I or not need to replace oem upper control?
Do you have a TRD PRo 4runner video? or is it same? I just did the preload collar kit on my 2018 "PRO" and am looking to dial in KDS and alignemnt
so, why did he put in his own specs? hunter alignment machines automatically have the specs on the vehicle if you scan the VIN with the barcode reader. so is he going off of the factory spec? if not that might be why it gave the total toe out too much warning after the caster sweep
Because when we design our lifts we design our own specs for the lift as well. Just like when toyota designed a vehicle does when the design a new vehicle they design the specs for the alignment for that vehicle in its stock form to ride the best and have the least amount of wear on the tires. We are doing the same when designing our own specs.
Jeff does decreasing the camber towards 0 make the caster go more aft (lower)?
Yes, it does decrease the caster
@@westcottdesigns Thanks for clarifying. My stock 23 Tundra TRD PRO has the most odd factory alignment specs. Positive Camber of minimal +0.4*, equal left&right Caster, and a total Toe of +0.58*…?? Makes no sense.
