    Hey guys I'm unfamiliar with alignment terms but my front wheels look like this: I \ the drivers side is facing outwards. Is there anyway to just adjust that and bring it back straight without paying someone for a full alignment? I just want my tires to wear out evenly.

    thats camber and you rotate the cams to adjust camber/caster. when you adjust camber your toe set changes as well.

    Well the only way to adjust it is to essentially get an alignment, so unless you know how to do yourself, no you're going to have to shell out the $80 to get it done:cool::thumbsup:

    I know some places will do just one side alignment and give you half price

    I gotta read up about this, everytime i try to understand it i get confused:eek: I was watching the guy align it by hand and he adjusted the tie rod end, i dont remember if that was adjusting the angle or something else.
    I see, well ill look into it, my truck drives straight but my tire is starting to wear out unevenly. Half the problem is my bent LCA so its never been straight but its at more of an angle than usual. Long travel will come soon enough so maybe one last alignment before the kit and then ill just tack the cams.

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    Go to Tyler (TC yota) and have him do it for you if he has time. 24 Hours is too much time to take off the shocks, take them apart and put them together, especially for you if you need the truck to drive around in.

    Edit: If he can't help you out I can do them for you but I will have to charge a bit more at the shop.
