Wheel alignment

[roddyb]

Can anyone help please? I can't find camber or toe in/out values for my 2003 Corolla Ultima. Looked in handbook and my Haynes Workshop Manual but there are no wheel alignment details. I've just put good tyres on and would like to check the wheel alignment.

[dirty hands]

camber is set by the chassis

toe in or toe out

on flat surface

measure the front of the front tyres

mark a center point in the tread

then measure the rear of the front tyres with a centre point

see if they match or are a few mm difference and which way

when i do a w/a on my car, i set it to 0 degrees toe and -1 degrees camber on both sides

Thanks DH. I have w/a gear but can't find the recommended toe in/out values or the camber angles

Thanks Prozak. Do those values give you good tyre wear and ok steering feel? I presume you obtained them from a Toyota source.
