Adjustability
On a 2016 Toyota Corolla, only front individual toe is adjustable from the factory. The front tie rod ends can be threaded in or out to change the toe angle. Front camber and caster, and rear camber and toe are not factory adjustable. If your Corolla has camber or caster readings outside the specified range, it may indicate that a component is bent or damaged. However, in many cases, the vehicle can be brought back into specification using aftermarket parts.
Recommended adjustment hardware
To correct front camber, you can use eccentric (cam) bolts, also known as "crash bolts". These replace the stock upper strut-to-knuckle bolts and provide a small amount of camber adjustment. For more significant adjustments, or if you have lowered your vehicle, you might need adjustable camber plates.
For the rear, if camber or toe are out of spec, you can use shims. These are thin plates that are inserted between the hub/bearing assembly and the rear axle beam to alter the alignment angles.
Symptoms of bad alignment
- Vehicle pulling to one side: This is often a sign of a camber or caster issue.
- Uneven tire wear: A classic sign of bad alignment. Feathered wear across the tread (like ramps when you run your hand over it) indicates a toe problem. Wear on the inside or outside shoulder of the tire points to a camber issue.
- Crooked steering wheel: If you have to hold your steering wheel off-center to drive straight, your toe adjustment is likely off.
- Sloppy or loose steering: While this can have many causes, incorrect alignment, especially caster, can affect steering stability.
When to align
You should have your vehicle's alignment checked:
- After installing new tires.
- After any suspension or steering component is replaced (e.g., struts, control arms, tie rods).
- After a significant impact with a curb or pothole.
- Whenever you notice any of the symptoms listed above.
Typical alignment cost
The cost for a four-wheel alignment on a 2016 Toyota Corolla typically ranges from $80 to $150, depending on the shop and location. This price may increase if aftermarket kits like cam bolts or shims are required to bring the vehicle into specification.
