Ok guys I have a 2014 4runner SR5 2wd. Since day one I've thought it handled and wandered on the road bad. I've taken it to two dealers now both saying it's all within spec. They want adjust the caster to 4 on both sides because they say it's in spec it's fine yada yada. So basically I'm going to have to go to a independent shop and pay. Hopefully they will be willing to align it to my specs. So there's my question. What do I need to be telling the shop i want the specs to be for the best handling? Or do my specs look ok and there's not much left that will improve anything?

Current specs:

Camber
LF -0.3. RF -0.7

Caster
LF 3.3 RF 4.0

Toe
LF 0.04 RF 0.04

Your current specs are very good considering you're still stock. There isn't much more they can do without purchasing aftermarket components. I wouldn't waste money on an alignment and start playing with tire pressure. You'll need to do this within the limits of the tire currently installed. Otherwise, you may need to consider a new tire with stiffer side wall and possibly a different load range.

It all depends on how much the current handling and wandering is bothering you.

What are you comparing it to? Have you test driven another 4runner to compare?

With 3-4 degrees now, you're not going to get much better.
