Adjustability
On the 2020 Toyota RAV4, only front and rear toe are adjustable from the factory. The front toe is adjusted via the tie rod ends, while the rear toe is adjusted with an eccentric cam on the lower control arm. Front camber and caster are not adjustable from the factory. If the front camber or caster are out of specification, it may indicate that a component is bent or damaged. However, aftermarket solutions are available to provide adjustability.
Recommended adjustment hardware
For vehicles needing front camber adjustment, aftermarket cam bolts are a common solution. These bolts replace the original, non-adjustable bolts in the strut-to-knuckle connection, and their eccentric lobe allows for a small range of camber adjustment. A popular option for the 2020 Toyota RAV4 is the SPC Performance Camber/Toe Camber Kit, part number 81260.
Symptoms of bad alignment
- Vehicle pulling or drifting: One of the most common symptoms. The vehicle will tend to drift to the left or right when driving on a straight, level road.
- Off-center steering wheel: The steering wheel is not centered when driving straight.
- Uneven tire wear: A classic sign of alignment issues. Different alignment angles cause distinct wear patterns:
- Camber wear: Wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire. Positive camber causes wear on the outside edge, while negative camber causes wear on the inside edge.
- Toe wear: Often described as a "feathered" or "sawtooth" pattern across the tread. You can feel this by running your hand across the tire.
When to align
It's recommended to have your vehicle's alignment checked annually. Additionally, an alignment is necessary after:
- Installing new tires: To ensure even wear and maximize the life of your new tires.
- Replacing suspension or steering components: Any time a component that affects wheel geometry is replaced (e.g., struts, control arms, tie rods).
- Impacts: Hitting a curb, large pothole, or being in a minor accident can easily knock the alignment out of specification.
Typical alignment cost
The cost for a four-wheel alignment on a 2020 Toyota RAV4 typically ranges from $100 to $200, depending on the shop and your location.
