    2015 Tacoma Dbl Cab, 2000 miles on it.
    3" front lift, 2" back lift.

    ok so last weekend we did some hard off roading in the Anza Borrego State park. I hit a rock pretty hard doing about 30-40, somewhere like that, a sideswpie, but my alignment was off and steering was at about 10oclock.

    had it aligned, it aligned fine.

    Today we went back out to Borrego and didn't hit anything hard at all and come to the road and it's mis-aligned again, but not as bad and in the other direction, at about 1oclock. not even 1oclock, but still?

    my 2000 Tacoma never had issues with alignment, ever. Once I had it aligned, ONCE. Never really went out of alignment.

    any thoughts?

    When they aligned it they didn't tighten it up properly.

    I have actually had one of my cam plates get flattened - I will say I feel like my 2014 Taco misaligns pretty easily as well.

    Total chaos cam tab gussets and make sure the cam bolts are tightened to spec.

    Yeah I would check your cam tabs. I flattened mine from hard off roading and also when I hit a bear. Alignment hasn't been the same and is unachievable to my specs because of flat tabs. Only way to fix it now is to get the TC cam tabs.

    A few things
    Had mine get thrown out of alignment fairly easily once, had it realigned and all is good now.

    Curious as well, do alignments adjust for bent suspension parts or do they just slip out of place

    How big of a rock did you hit at 30mph? Did the airbags go off?

    The rock was about as big as a pumpkin and we sort of side swiped it, it bent my rim a bit,not bad enough to have to replace it but it was a hard hit, it shocked me and my daughter because we totally didn't see it, it blended in. Airbags did not go off thankfully. You could see the swipe on the tired edge ut there was enough on the edge to bend the rim.
