Adjusting rear camber?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Not to be argumentative, but toe-out on the rear of a Yaris is NOT in spec at all. The factory spec is .11" total toe in plus or minus .12", so anything more than .01" of toe out is out of spec.

The thing about rear toe is that it allows the rear of the car to "steer" around a turn. It's not inherently dangerous, necessarily... you won't really notice it in normal driving. But, it feels REALLY weird (same feeling you get when the car is about to spin) when it does begin to happen. Could lead to driver compensating with a countersteer when it isn't required, and THAT could be dangerous.

do you do your own alignments on a rack?
