    How do these numbers look? Truck feels good. Apparently couldn't adjust the left side Castor.

    Thanks

    Odd they couldnt raise the left caster, are you in the rest belt? In alberta a 2021 tacoma still moves nicely and we can get the caster much better than that.

    It's a fine alignment for seized eccentrics, but I think they just left them and set the tie rods.

    No rust, I'm from Southern BC. Truck only has 21k km (13k miles). LCA bolts were kinds seized during install but no rust.

    They copped out, its called a "toe and blow" "toe job" " set the toe and let it go"

    If you're ever in Calgary message me for a proper alignment.

    You could ask them to improve it, but they already claimed its seized, you don't know how they'll behave.

    I'd go to another shop, get them to improve it, and ask for a refund if its not seized.

    Caster determines comfort, pull, and higher speed stability. Higher is better, obviously it should be in spec, especially on a 2-3 year old truck.

    Thanks,

    I haven't been on the highway yet but in the city the truck drives as it did from factory, little more movement in the steering over bumpy terrain.
