Found a coupon for a free alignment check @ one of the local tire shops so I took my '01 ES300 in today to have that done. After performing the check and finding things out of spec, the shop performed the alignment without confirming the work with me first...so I ended up with a free alignment. Anyway, here are the measurements of both before and after the alignment was performed.

Before.



After.

Unfortunately, the print out did not provide an acceptable range for each measurement, so I was wondering if anyone knew what the factory specs should be? Based on the numbers it is obvious that the toe was adjusted front and rear, but the closeness of the before/after camber readings makes me thing nothing was done there...but I don't know whether or not those numbers are within the acceptable ranges.

And dumb question...in the reports, which is the front of the vehicle? Lower left appears consistent with inner tire wear that I am seeing on the pass side front, but it would make more sense for up to be front.

Thanks.

See this thread for the FSM the 2nd file has alignment info page 1250-ish.

I'll let the experts comment on your results.

Top axle is the front of the vehicle because of the CASTER measurement.
No caster is measurement for the rear.

Everything looks good.
I like a little toe-in (+ reading) on toe's.
Gives more stability going straight.
Camber looks good as well except for the Left rear.
It has more negative camber than the right.
But its probably with in specs since its not in the "red" area.

Last is the specs from the alignment machine, they agree with the book readings above.
