Need help with alignment

Hello,

I am not to savvy when it comes to vehicles and I can use a little help. I have a 2006 2wd double cab prerunner that is very stock (no mods).

I took my taco to the dealership for oil change, tire rotation and to adjust the alignment (vehicle was pulling slight right).

Got the car back from the dealership and the truck is pulling WAY right. The dealership blamed the problem on a radial pull and suggested I go to the tire shop. I went to the tire shop asked them to look into it. They rotated all the tries, car still pulled right. In fact we couldn't come up with a configuration to make the vehicle pull left. The tire company called their alignment guy who said my alignment was actually off. So now I am stuck with a truck that pulls right and two companies arguing over whose fault it is.

Here is where I need help. I think I can safely rule out the tires because of the fact that I couldn't get the truck to pull left despite the tire configuration. Please let me know if this assumption is wrong.

The next step is to figure out if it is in fact the alignment. I can't seem to find what the alignment settings actually should be. Can someone point me to a site (I have tried google) where i can get this info? Or can someone take a look at my specs below and tell me if this would be contributing to a pull right.

Specs after alignment:

Left Front:
Camber .5
Caster 2.3
Toe .01


Right Front
Camber .4
Caster 1.7
Toe .01

Left Rear
Camber .02
Toe .08

Right Rear
Camber .03
Toe .00

Thanks for the help

 

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Do you think the fact that the alignment is not adjusted to the levels you indicate would contribute to the truck pulling really hard to the right?

 

Definitely caster on the right, it's too low. With caster, it will pull to the "least" positive side. Also, you want a -.2 to -.3 cross caster (more caster on the right) to compensate for road crown. But not too many roads have that crown anymore so a more "straight up" adjustment should do. Another thing to add, more postive camber on the right as well. When you sit in the truck/car, camber on the right will tend to go negative while on the left it will go postive.

 

You can also get really weird effects if your tires are rotated to a different SIDE of the truck and they're rotating the opposite direction than they were.... especially with radial tires, which is what most of us have of course. If you kept track of what was rotated where, make sure your tires are back turning the same direction as when you started this whole thing.

 

your cross caster is off.it should never be above half of a degree.i'm assuming the measurements you are showing are + readings,adjust caster to + 2.0 both sides,camber to 0.0.+ or - .02

 

thanks for the feedback. There is enough info here to help me out. thanks for the help
