Negative camber on Camry
 
Forum newbie. Wondering if Toyota dealers can routinely adjust negative camber and if so by how much. My 2018 Camry has -3.2 camber right rear, which might mean something is bent. If a camber kit would help, any idea of cost? If strut fix or replacement or bearing replacement needed, any idea of cost? Or just trust the dealer? ... Thanx for any advice.

As built the car had no prevision for camber adjustment. This means unless the camber kit is installed the dealer (or any other shop) can not adjust it.

There is an after market adjustable suspension arm that replaces the factory arm or an oblong adjust bolt that replaces one bolts that holds the strut to the knuckle. For their cost search the internet under 2018 Camry rear camber kit both arm and bolt. The internet may have videos on the use of each type of product.

Cost wise need to determine the problem area if there is one such as bent or work part. The dealer or any shop should be able to a pretty accurate cost up front for changing a strut or other suspension component. The Toyota dealer is typically the most expensive for repairs. Any shop that does suspension work and assume has a wheel alignment machine should be able to repair the car.

The camber kits appear easy enough to install with the bolt type being the easiest. One will need to check the wheel alignment on a machine.

Since the rear left and right side suspension is a mirror image one can compare them to determine if something looks different on the right side. Taking a physical hit to the suspension enough to knock our of adjustment might show up in a damaged part. Also check for worn bushings which may be more likely then damage from a hit. .
