    150K on mine. only alignment i've had done was at 110k when they put on a new frame. it drive straight and no odd tire wear. i figure the rust locks everything in place

    Put over 1000 miles on the new front shocks with the old springs/coil over hardware
    Running great & the truck feels solid

    Crossed 342k miles
    350k on the horizon

    Next services before winter
    1. New tires
    2. Rad fluid service/swap
    3. Trany filter & fluid swap
    4. Rear diff & transfer case fluid swap
    5. Sparks swap
    6. Engine & cabin air filter swap
    7. Maybe the serp belt (or at 375k next summer)

    & another update on the matter-
    no alignment needed
    at 20mph, 50mph, & 70mph, I am going straight down the road

    so you can change front shocks without needing an alignment adjustment
    & nothing was seized after 340k miles/7 years on the road

    @Chiloquin_Car_Care what are your driving habits that got you to 340k so fast?

    Long distance daily commuter? Mostly highway miles?

    seems fine
    if camber was off, would it affect straight driving? braking? cornering?
    I am experiencing excellent braking, cornering, & straight line driving
    it was all pretty good before the front shock swap, & now feels like new

    there is a guy with 1.3 million+ miles on his tacoma (2007 I think)
    I will never catch him
    & I am getting a new truck at 500k bud
    10 years in one truck is enough for me

    appreciate the comment though!
    :)

    You can have either Positive or Negative Camber. You'll drive straight and all but you can have uneven tire wear. You won't notice the camber being off. Few degree's either way won't be as noticeable as the top right corner of the picture shows.
