Negative camber on '99 4Runner
The front camber on my 99 is looking a bit wonky with slight positive camber (tires leaning out). It's all stock with what appears to be all original components, including the shocks.
The dealer from where I bought claimed to have done an alignment check as part of the pre-sale inspection, but I'm sure it was nothing more than a "toe & go".
It tracks fine, but the outside edges of the front tires seem to be wearing quickly.
I've replaced the lower ball joints as a precautionary measure, and visual inspection of the control arm bushings doesn't reveal any extreme wear or deformation. Everything feels tight, so I don't feel a suspension rebuild is in order.
I've got an appointment to get the alignment checked at a local shop, but I'm wondering what would have caused the camber to apparently shift. Do 4Runners just settle this way with age, or is there something amiss.
