    22CFFCEC-CFDF-44C4-ACE2-30D70F616998.jpeg Hi all,

    Above is my rear camber results.

    Technician at local shop says nothing to worry about. Is it?

    Dealer wants $275 for shims (on top of regular $120 alignment fee, if I’m not mistaken).

    all prius have this. if you're ocd, there are specialty shims or shops available, but most ignore it, as does toyota.
    btw, still the same problem in 2020 models

    My 2017 PP has significant inner tire wear... is thus not an issue? How can Toyota ignore this...

    FWIW the spec is roughly -1 (degree), plus/minus .75.

    If it drives straight and the tire wear isn’t too bad I wouldn’t worry about it. I have tried to correct some alignment issues with aftermarket suspension and it is a pain in the butt.
