What are you all finding when it comes to the factory alignment? I think I was reading where the ISF were set from the mfg so the toe was pointed out a bit, purely for performance reasons but will also cause uneven wear on your tires.

I would rather have mine wear evenly and sacrifice any performance decrease because of that and trying to figure out if I should pay to have the alignment performed on my new RCF.

Is what I'm reading true or will I be wasting my time as the MFG isn't doing the alignment that way? I haven't thought about the dealer but would think they would try to give me push back as they wouldn't want to do anything unless I have uneven wear which is too late then...

all I can say is talk to your dealer,


I told the service adviser mine is a street/commuter car and will not be on a track and to please align it as such.

@ 7,000 miles and I am not noticing any abnormal wear.


you can pull the factory alignment specs off the Toyota TIS website,

you will need to pay$15 for 48 hour access, and you can pull off whatever service info you need.

Not sure what the factory spec. range is but normal toe setting would be slight toe-in or just set to 0 toe upfront. Slight toe in on the rear. I wouldn't run toe-out on the street or with a pure-DD vehicle.

What the dealer said the factory sets it to.
