2001 Tacoma 2WD Camber adjustment

I recently tried to adjust the camber on my 2001 2wd 2.4 Tacoma and could not find any guides on how to adjust the camber on those years. It is wearing the outer edge of the tire pretty unevenly due to worn out suspension parts and bushings but this definitely helped without rebuilding the entire front end.

There is no cam bolt located on the upper or lower control arm for those years it is done with shims that go between the upper control arm and the shock tower.


I started by raising the front of the vehicle and removing the tire.
Using a 17mm wrench for front bolt and a socket on the back loosen the two bolts (red arrow) on the back inner part of the UCA. This pic is taken from under the hood.



Once the bolts are loosened you will be able to add or remove shims (green arrow) to bring the camber in or out. The outer edge of my tire was wearing so i added shims.
The local parts stores did not carry the shims in stock but i was able to find this assortment kit at harbor freight for a cheaper price anyways. Tools needed:
17mm Wrench
17mm Socket
Breaker Bar

 

Good stuff!

In the title maybe add 2WD as the 4WD camber is a different process. The shimming is an older process, I first learned it on a Ferrari.
