I installed my TRD's about a month ago, let them do their own thing and settle before I take it in for an alignment. My research has lead me to believe that I have to take it in the stealership for correct camber. I saw a diagram for the rear with a camber bolt instead of an entire new arm link. I can't find any "kits" for the TRD springs for camber, so I figure only the stealership has the correct camber bolts for the rear?

 

i got my trd spring 8 months ago, never got an alignment, drives straight and no uneven tire wear. lots of people will say you need it, lots of people say you dont. i didnt, im fine.

 

a) Get an alignment. Why even risk shredding your tires? Sure, people may be fine without one, but I'd rather give up $60-70 now instead of $400-500 later.

b) You will not need ANY sort of camber kit. If the dealer (or whatever shop you want to go to) says otherwise - go to another shop. There are plenty of people lowered more than TRDs within spec after an alignment.

 

you right ... now $60-70 for alignment or $600-700 later ... some one told me dont need that but after i got lower i went to alignment ..

 

get an alignment no need for camber kit i didn't need one for mine

 

stock wheels? what springs did you go with that you didnt need any type of camber kit? just wondering as I just got a tC and am wanting to lower it. thx

Funny thing is, I made that sticky back in 2006 and it is still totally valid and accurate.
