Rechecked my toe-in after my offroad adventures and found to my surprise that the toe was still very close to zero at -.005" or so.
So the Tercel 4WD must be built pretty well.

Rechecked my alignment......
From what I read, the Tercel actually has positive camber.
Last I heard, from a mechanical engineer, this was a bad thing. It stresses the rims and tyres something chronic.
Is it a bad thing to just set it to zero camber?
Or maybe a little negative? It'd improve cornering ability, that's for sure.

1983 Tercel SR5 with 185/75R14 tyres, 32/36 DGAV Weber carburetor, lumpy cam and upgraded Pioneer sound system. Veteran of several fire seasons (with the scars to show it) and known as "The Racing Turtle"
I think the camber is positive...but the toe is supposed to be zero + or - .040".
Only took about 10 minutes to check it...since I didn't have to adjust it or recheck it.
The guy that was doing my alignments retired or something...and the other places charge a good bit more.

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Had to have the laser replaced when it stopped working (free)...used the new one for this job.
Sort of a relief not to have to call, make an appointment, wait, drive there, pay the guy, drive back, etc....especially when the alignment issues were all in my head.
