On a front-wheel-drive hybrid like the 2012 Toyota Prius v, small toe or camber errors can show up quickly as feathering or inside-edge wear. If the steering wheel isn’t straight on a level road around Auburn or the car drifts on highways toward Worcester, it’s time to measure the angles. We’ll print before/after readings and correct what’s adjustable to Toyota specs.
