Sold in the majority of automotive markets throughout the world, Camry is a mid-sized family vehicle, manufactured by Toyota, since 1980. The factory specifications for the alignment are slightly different for all 2004 Camry models, though the toe specification is the same.

Toe Definition

Toe is the difference between the leading and trailing inside edges of the front wheels. Wheel toe position out of specification can cause unstable steering and uneven tire wear.

Specifications

The total toe-in specification should be 0 degrees with maximum allowable difference of 0.6 degrees. Rack end length difference should be 1.5 mm (0.069 inches), or less.

Notes

These specifications are given for a vehicle at curb height with one-half tank of fuel. Also, the wheel toe position should be the final front wheel adjustment, performed after camber and caster adjustments.
