Does the X have a bit of negative camber from the factory?

Richie Rich · May 4, 2014

Was just out in the driveway staring at my truck (seem to be doing that a lot). I noticed the front wheels appear to have a bit of negative camber to them.
I have not noticed any odd handling behavior and the tires are evenly worn.
Is this some kind of weird optical illusion, do the trucks have a touch of N/C by design or is something bent/broken?

Truck is stock height, does not look like anything has been disturbed suspension wise.
No evidence of parts being swapped out (like a lowering kit) prior to the PO trading it in.

Measure your fenders from the ground and will tell you pretty quick if it's dropped at all. You can still have a slight camber and still be within the tolerances of factory spec but if your tires a wearing evenly you don't have an issue and your eyes are playing a trick on you

My truck has always had some nc before I lowered it... it drives fine but the inside does go first..

I can when my front tires are getting low because the steering wheel gets about 1\8 turn off.... put new tires on and everything goes back to straight.. it's done it since day one with 15 miles off the lot..

I now have 80000 miles and have never had an alignment. . It's time now..

My alignment book say access cab Tacoma with 18" tires camber alignment is -0.69 plus or minus 0.75 you cold have -1.5 degrees of camber and still be in speck.

Pretty much every car/truck has a little negative camber, unless something is messed up.

Factory camber is around -1.5 if I remember correctly. Been awhile.

Just looked a little excessive in this case. At least compared to my other trucks.

Going to add "check alignment" to the list of little stuff I have for the dealership. Drives fine, just appears to have quite a bit of NC compared to my other vehicles. Wasn't sure if it was an X thing or something out of wack.

I just had my truck aligned (I have a 1" drop in the front) and I still have some negative camber.

Welcome!
