Sequoia Alignment (for the 101st time)

[voodo1]

Sorry, I put the original post in the wrong place:

I have read all the alignment messages and took DJs specs to Firestone to make sure my brand new 265/75R16 Dueler Alenza tires live up to their reputation.

Since I don't know anything about alignment, I am asking for any insight to what the H#l$ this all means.

I gave them the following (supposed to be DJs specs):

Camber=+ 0.25
Caster= +2.00
Total toe= +.08

They gave me the following back:

Front:
Cross camber: 0.1 degree
Cross caster: 0.2 degree
Cross SAI: 0.3 degree
Total toe: 0.14 degree

Rear: (not adjusted/changed - they said it can't be adjusted - don't know if that is true)
Cross: -0.1 degree
Total toe: 0.08 degree
Thrust angle: -0.03 degree

Thanks to anyone - sorry for my ignorance.

"Cross camber" is the difference between left and right camber. At 0.01 degrees, that's fine, meaning left and right camber are the same. But what are left and right camber? Either they didn't tell you, or you didn't tell us.

It's a similar story with "cross caster". What are left and right caster?

Setting total toe at 0.14 degrees is very poor work when the desired value is 0.08 degrees. It's easy to get toe dead on spec, and incorrect total toe is a severe tire wear factor.

Somebody's got some 'splainin' to do .

Sorry, here is the total detail:

Front Left
Camber .1
Caster 2.6
Toe .06
SAI 10.2
Included angle 10.4

Front Right
Camber .0
Caster 2.5
Toe .07
SAI 9.9
Included angle 9.9

Thanks.

Camber and caster are both adjustable and they are fine. Total toe is off a bit, but if your steering wheel is level when it rolls in a straight line, I'd leave it as is.
