Just purchased 2012 Highlander took it in to check alignment since new cars sometime are not in alignment when coming from factory. Left rear camber was at 1.3 and all the others at .8. Since this is an all wheel drive vehicle having camber out of true will cause incorrect wear on the left rear tire. I will eventually have to replace all the tires since you have to have all the tires the same in a all wheel vehicle.
Dealer denys any problems with these readings, but we have shown him paper work from mechanics books that say that this will cause the tire to wear incorrectly!
