Went up one size tire and that caused passengers side clearance to be different than drivers.

Manual trans here, I have no problem doing a little more than needed, but not just to shell out money. I think I shall be doing more work now. Here I come YOUTUBE

 

Toyota is terrible at alignments. The trucks come from the factory misaligned and in general their techs have no idea what you are talking about. If their machine says “in spec”.....it’s “in spec”, that’s it.

As unfortunate as it is, you need a mechanic that represents your best interest, rather than Toyota’s best interest, to give you the straight goods. It’ll be worth the $100.

 

x2, theres plenty of DIY info this is the reason I enrolled in the TW army, money has been tight and I need to do all the truck maintainence myself(hopefully) it also gives satisfaction when u DIY and save yourself the money

 

I know this big time, steering wheels crooked, cam tabs bent on mine

 

I'd honestly be surprised if they actually changed your spark plugs. Or put your old ones back in once they realized. I've seen them do some shady shit

 

I gave my Toyota dealer two chances to fix my crappy factory alignment that pulled right under warranty. In both cases it was “in spec”. Finally laid my money down at a frame and alignment shop (not a tire shop), and the truck has driven beautifully ever since. Money well spent and no hassle.

 

This is common with front end alignments. One of the cam bolts is probably seized so it was adjusted by the other. My truck is the same way right now. Once I fix the cam bolt they will be able to make both sides even.

 

I think I also had a froze cam on the passenger side so it over whelmed them more trying to get the camber set, never again

 

are you gonna try to remove the bolt or cut the whole a arm off, I would like to try and get mine out might be a little too much for a driveway repair for me

 

I don’t know yet. It’s in alignment right now with barely a rub on the passenger side so I’m not in a hurry to fix it.

 

I was needing some new tires bad but really don't want to invest in some high dollar Defenders if I cant get a descent alignment, im shopping CRAIGSLST for some 3rd gen takeoffs till I figure out what to do with the cams/a arms

 

WOW! This is crazy! Did you own the truck when the right front was damaged? It would be interesting to see what repairs were made at that time.

 

Did we get this solved?

The latest was my service advisor promising my he would let me know if it had records of the frame being checked, but don’t forget to get that survey in with high marks. I’m getting differentials serviced for half priceish, free detail and him looking further into my repairs. That was the last Friday of October.

 

Do you have any additional alignment info? Included angle? SAI?

 

I’ll look for it, it’s posted I think.

 

In this post, at end.

I'd seen that.
I was interested to see if you had another sheet showing included angle, SAI, rear thrust, etc.

 

Nope, that’s it. I think my next step Is to take it to another place for an alignment.
