Camber Issues with C2C

[Spicy Taco X]

This was probably already answered in another thread, but I couldn't find it. They couldn't get me better than 2.0 left and 2.2 right. What needs to happen? BY the way I paid for the 3yr unlimited alignments so I can go back any time I want.:biggrin: They said something about different bushings?:dontknow:

Couple things..
#1, you can relocate your UCA mounts
#2, you can try to get a camber kit
#3, you can leave it, and enjoy the added handling in the twisties. -2.0 to -2.2 has been proven to not show any additional tire wear on these trucks.

I am at -1.9 on both sides, and Michael (WSHSBEARS) is at -2.1 - both of ours have been on for thousands of miles with no tire wear, but great handling in the corners.

You forgot #4 you can get the DJM kit and go down 3" 's and get a perfect alignment.wonder why the new cars don't have the" prefered" alignment specs on them?? hmmmm:dontknow:

 

[alaxrunner]

forget about the camber kit, they dont have one avaliable for the tacoma,unless you know someone who could make one.

x2. I know my truck has the ability to go to specs, I chose not to.
Ryan's truck is within specs with this kit as well..
there are about 10 that I know of that are within factory specs...... yet some are sooo far off.. I have no idea why, and I can not explain it

I was wondering about that my self. The guy let me look at it while he still had the big reflector things on there and showed me what i read, but I still don't get it. And how are the left and right different?

 

[XRobber]

I think a lot of it has to do with elbow grease the alignment tech is willing to use. I know the guys who I install this kit on in Orlando... I take them to the same alignment guy.... He doesnt have a "miracle" machine, he is just a KICK ass guy that will break his arm to get a job done..

Just for the info. here are the factory alignment specs.

Model # GRN225L CRFDKA X-Runner

Caster 5 degrees 09' + - 45 degrees
Camber -0.40 degrees + - 45'
Toe (0.014 + - 0.08 in.)

Yeah its definately not a kit issue. It's up to the alignment techs and how far they are willing to go to ensure the alignment is within specs. Mine aren't as everyone already knows:laugh: but plan on getting re-aligned soon

Model # GRN225L CRFDKA X-Runner

Caster 3 degrees 52' + - 45 degrees
Camber -0.40 degrees + - 45'
Toe (0.014 + - 0.08 in.)

Can you double check that please?
Per the alignment machine at my friends shop, factory specs on camber is -1.4 to +1.0 on these trucks.
I have the printout from the machine in my hand.

These spec's are from Toyota TIS (Toyota online) which I get because of my master status all data is direct from the shop manuals and this is what we use at the dealership and all Toyota dealership have TIS which contains all specs, repair info, TSBs and etc

XRobber as far as factory specs you want from negitive -1.4 to positive +0.05 degrees these measurements are in minutes of time example 60' = 1.0 degrees or 30' =0.5 degrees you need to be about in the middle of these specs for proper tire wear, here are the exact specs from our machine for a model #GRN225L-CRFDKA P255/45R18 Camber min. spec. -1.4 degrees to max spec. 0.01 degrees which is very little positive camber at all. PM me with the specs that you have.

:aetsch: no one's perfect. lol

 

[DOGSTOY06]

you need to read the camber for 255/45r18 tires the camber appears to be less than -1 degree to be spec.somewhere between -0.6 to -1 not -1.9!:top:

 

[morcheez]

so who has the right answer here??

Well. I did the alignment on mine brand new X,picked it up 2 weeks ago. I wanted to do it myself. I found the caster and toe were pretty off and explained the pull to the left. Max camber is -1.4 degrees which I set to -1.0 and caster I set to 4.8 degrees was @ 4.2 which was out of spec. Was gonna install the C2C kit in the future. Haven't really come across a lowered X Runner to adjust yet.

are you good with that stuff? maybe you can help me! my camber is off but don't want to take it back to Pacific Automotive since I paid 90 bucks to have it aligned at -2.3...which the techs claimed is the maximum they could adjust it to
