Wheel alignment problems, such as camber, caster, and toe misalignment, are major contributors to uneven tire tread wear in the Toyota Camry. When the camber is off the angle of the tire relative to the road, the tires may wear unevenly on one side. Toe misalignment where the tires are pointed inward o r outward can cause the edges of the tire to wear faster than the center. Caster misalignment affects the stability of the steering, leading to uneven wear. Symptoms of alignment issues include the vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear especially on the inner o r outer edges, o r steering wheel vibration. Having a regular wheel alignment check and correction can help prevent these problems.
