    I recently went in for regular maintenance on my 22 Tacoma (30k miles) and when they checked the alignment, the front was perfect but the rear toe was off. It was reading like -.70 / .40 or something along those numbers. The shop didn’t seem like they were too concerned, mainly because they didn’t offer to see what the issue was, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has their rear toe off by that much or at all.
    I’ve read a few posts about how it’s common in Tacomas but I can’t really find answers or causes / solutions. (Maybe I should have dug more) but just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if so, what caused it and the fix yall had. Thanks a lot!

    Am I not reading that right?
    Toe?

    That would be the amount the leading edge of your tire is pointing in.

    For that to be an issue on a solid REAR axle, you would have to have a bent axle.

    What am I not getting?

    There is no practical way to align a solid axle rear suspension. Why do you think it's out of spec?

    Post your alighnement sheet.

    Toe can be off in the rear, its never really perfect on the trucks. If you can share the alignment print out it will help.

    Honestly if you cant see the axle askew with your eyes, its nothing to worry about.

    Or is the rear axle throwing off your thrust line from the center line because one wheel is slightly ahead of the other wheel?
