ToyTec Ultimate kit and Light Racing Arms, alignment issues?

th1148 · Jul 21, 2009

This weekend I installed the ToyTec Ultimate kit and Light Racing Arms on my 09 Tacoma. Today I took the truck to my local Toyota dealership to have them align the truck. The tech adjusted the control arms to fix the camber but said that the caster was not in spec. The truck seemed to wonder a bit on the Interstate not sure if it was cause alignment, the terrible Oklahoma roads or the 30mph winds. Attached are pictures of the control arm settings.

The alignment print out showed:

Camber left 1.1/ right 0.9
Caster left 4.5/ right 4.4
Toe left 0.04/ right 0.04
SAI left 11.2/ right 11.9
Included angle left 12.3/ right 12.9

Should I take the truck to another shop or will these settings be ok? Anyone recommend a good alignment shop around Oklahoma City?

Camber should be at 0*, and the Caster seems a wee bit high, I think it should be between 2* and 3*. Might want to take it back to them with the settings you want or take it somewhere else.

u prolly need to adjust how ur ball joint is oriented. if u go by the directions, they should be oriented to 0* position. atleast thats what i understand

^x2. Loosen them up and twist them so that the little thing is sticking straight out, and slide them all the way in. They should be able to get it closer like that.

well, you would think that would work but thats how I originally had them and the truck looked like a "\/" due to all the positive camber. think I may need to turn them so the flat side is facing the side of the tire. Thanks to everyone for their input keep it coming.

This should shed some light on what I was saying...

Thanks flyingface. That does help alot.

You can see that that one is slid to the middle, I should have slid it all the way in, then the alignment shop could have had more adjustability out of the lower cam bolts. But hey, it works.
