    I got this done at Firestone today on a Hunter alignment machine today ... 2 different printouts ... 2 minutes apart ... with no adjustment.

    The guy made no adjustments and said I was OK even though the printouts are a little different and were 2 minutes apart and could be the machine I guess?

    I put new tires on yesterday and at 17,500 miles, my previous tires wore out unevenly on outside edges.

    The guy said this was natural for a Tacoma ?

    Is this true ... :confused: ... I can take it back as I got a Lifetime Firestone alignment for $179.00.

    The alignment guy said is was too close to touch. .... Are these good alignments readouts ??

    Any good advice on alignment issues ... appreciated ... Thanks ..

    Alignment tech here,looks good to me. The difference in the measurements is nothing to worry about,the new machines a very sensitive and even opening and closing the door can shift toe like what you see in your printouts.

    your tire wear was caused by low tire air pressure i run about 32 psi to 35 psi

    Thanks for the replies

    I run 35 psi in the tires and check them closely.

    Since I have lifetime alignment ... I can have it checked every 3 to 5000 miles I guess
