New truck needs alignment?

TW!

I got my new 2018 Tacoma on 8/25 and my front two tires look like they are slanted inward like it has some camber. Is that something I would need an alignment for? I mean it's brand new so that wouldn't make sense but I'm very particular and it looks off.

Granted this is my first Tacoma and maybe that's the way they are. Just curious since you guys have way more experience with Toyota Tacomas. I'll try to post a pic later today. But any information on this subject would be helpful

Thanks a ton!

 

take to the dealer and have them check it,

 

not urgent..................change title

i will elaborate......thread titles with HELP ! URGENT! usually means life or death, help needed, someone in dire need of recovery in remote area, etc........this is a potential alignment issue.

post a good thread title, you will get good answers. TW has a mostly helpful group of people

 

My bad, it felt urgent. Haha. Changed*

 

I also noticed this when I got my 2016 off the lot.. get it fixed now. My factory tires are completely balded on the most outer tread and they only have 25000 miles on them. Im going to need new ones by december

 

Just wait unti your 3rd Gen starts making “strange” noises

 

Is it stock, or lifted? If lifted, they may not be able to get the camber in line and give you enough caster at the same time. If stock - take it in.

 

What kind of strange noises? @patr did you ever get yours fixed?

 

Yeah it's stock, I just took it home about 3 days ago and it just seems like they're slanted more than I would have thought.

 

I have not gotten mine fixed

 

Strange meaning a metaphor, ie strange for a truck means normal.

 

If you start to get the howling rear end do not worry about it being a mechanical problem as it is just a resonant frequency

 

Agreed, if anyone has crawled under their truck they’ll see how much open space is between the leafs, bed, diff, tires, etc where sound can travel and resonate.

A noise between 50-55mph only is not an issue. A loud noise all the time at constant speed is.

 

Ya, I have gear noises in my mustang and trust me, you know when it is gear noise and not resonance if you have heard gears howling.

 

My 17 is like this too.... let me know how it goes. Fucking hate dealing with my Toyota dealership.

 

Slanted inward at the top or bottom of the tires?

 

bottom.
