Supra Front Alignment Options

[FallenGhost11]

I Bought my Supra a couple months ago it’s a 2021 model and when I first got it I noticed the inner tires were damaged but needed to replace them anyways so I did and got a alignment after and then realized they can’t even do the alignment for the front so I did some research and saw that I might need to install some after market front camber plates is this my only option any help would be appreciated I’ll attach the chart of the alignment as-well

-3.9 on one side in front? Sounds like the car has been in an accident if everything is OEM.

Is the car sagging to the left side?

You might want to get a slight toe in on the rear for better traction.

Something is seriously wrong on the left front as Bryan pointed out. I can only get -3.5 with my camber plates maxed out.

Bought the car with 10.4K miles and car face said no accidents but also it doesn’t look like it’s messed up but when I turn the wheel stationary I can hear the tire making noise idk if that’s the side of the tire rubbing the floor or not I can prob get a picture of how it looks lifted in a bit if that would help

I’m assuming you meant Carfax when you wrote “car face.” Carfax is only as good as what people tell it. A car could be completely destroyed and if the owner fixed everything on their own that would never show up on Carfax. Bit of an extreme example to say don’t always believe what the Carfax is saying.

yeah I meant carfax mb but that makes sense I bought it from a dealership 2 months ago is there any way to see signs that there was it doesn’t look like it’s leaning in this picture I have Atleast also seems to drive fine I’ve probably driven about 800 miles so far and haven’t noticed anything but I could just be ignorant

You are literally typing and sending this from a video camera. Upload a video.

also, the bumper and hood don't look like the same shade. This naturally happens as paint ages, but your car is nowhere near old. Hopefully I'm wrong here.

Its difficult to judge like this. Please measure the distance between the center of your wheel and the fender on both sides. That should help.

This was a photo I took when I got the car I’m currently at work so I couldn’t take a video right now but from where you lift the hood and like 5 inches up or more there’s a strip of paint protection so maybe that’s why it looks different I’ll get a video when I get home

When I got home and checked I saw I had after market camber plates so that explains it a little

 

[FallenGhost11]

the vin is still on the bumper so I don't think it has been in an accident but It has the verus front camber plates

I suggest finding an alignment place that knows wtf they are doing. If you already have camber plates and they said you didn’t….

Good news though on the camber plates and not an accident ?

 

[FallenGhost11]

looks like firestone wont do after market parts so I cant go back there and dealership quoted me 800 so ig imma look around

 

[jchadwell]

No idea why some of you all have such a hard time finding a place to do alignments. I use the Toyota dealer I purchased from. They charge $89 like every other car and they also know what I use the car for. Doesn’t faze them that I provide my own specs and they do a good job. It’s not rocket science ffs.
