So,
I dropped my LX470 (2000) at the local Toyota dealership for an alignment and road force balance on the new tires. They did the balance, it's "ok" these are Toyo OCII 285/70/17 on Rock Warriors. They *should* balance out nicely.
Anyway, they "aligned" it and I could see some positive camber on the RF, but they said it "hit specs" (no sheet provided). I drove it a couple months and looking at the RF I'm starting to see some feathering of the outer tread block. I take it back and ask them to check the alignment. They came back and said "in spec" and I asked for a copy of the sheet which they didn't have. Called back and the service writer says, it's a "little" out on the RF camber, .9 degrees Pos, spec says .8 pos is upper end. Then he says, your wheel bearings are bad, I'm working up a quote.
He calls back with the quote, $2,100+ parts and labor. He says "hubs are sealed unit, wheel bearings not available separately." Wut? Then he says, no camber adjustment possible on the 100 series. I've seen the '04 factory manual, the UCA bolts are cammed for adjustment, are they all like this, ie '98-2007?
I don't think these guys will see my rig again...
