    Anyone here adjust their positive camber? Got a 15 pre runner and it’s always had a positive camber look to it at the front, got two alignments done and sure enough left side is 0.6 and right side is 0.7


    Anyway I can get that closer to 0? I don’t want to wear out my new toyo all terrains quickly lol

    There is suppose to be a bit of negative camber. That's normal. If your alignment is correct on the other measurements you shouldn't see any sort of premature tire wear.

    It’s positive camber 0.6 drivers side and 0.7 passenger side positive camber

    don’t know if I can get it closer to 0 so I don’t have premature tires wear

    Post your alignment sheet. Someone didn't do your alignment correctly.

    Alignment #s look good to me. My front tires have always seemed to be a little \ / and i havent had any issues with tire wear from it

    My last tires seemed to have worn out prematurely on the outside and looked new on the inside, and the alignment before that was less positive camber, but I did replace my front shocks with 5100s because of how bad the old tokico ones were. I just don’t want premature wear on my $1000 tires

    They should have been able to dial in the camber better.

    Do you have aftermarket upper control arms? That's a ton of caster for stock control arms

    improper toe will cause more wear on the outer edges of tires vs positive camber. Id like to see closer to that center of spec (around .2-.3* positive camber). They should be able to sacrifice a smidge of caster (mid 2*'s is fine) to move the camber closer to that .2-.3*

    Yeah the first time they done it it was off so I had them do it again and they said they maxed the caster out, everything’s factory other than the bilstein 5100s and they aren’t set high neither just wanted new shocks so they’re on the bitch above factory height, I kind of want less positive camber and better toe so my tires wear normally
