4 Wheel Alignments - When and who does it best?

Their equipment sounds like top of the line. If you don't mind spending the money, it's cheap insurance to make sure you get maximum life from your expensive tires.

Many on this list are more expert than I, but here's my simple understanding of alignment. Caster and camber have limited adjustment on the Camry's strut suspesnsion system. This is not like the old double A arms, where they add or remove shims. The settings are primarily established by the struts themselves that form the upper pivot point, so if the struts are not damaged or excessively worn, the primary adjustment in an alignment is toe in. If you're going to have an alignment done, it should be the computer assisted four wheel type. For my purposes, if the suspension is in good condition and the tires wearing evenly, I would suspect the alignment to be satisfactory.

Toe is adjustable at both ends of Camry, hence the need for a "four wheel alignment."
