    Google AI indicated that parts are needed to shim up the alignment.

    I would like to have parts "at the ready" for the alignment. If anyone has experience with alignments, what parts does it make to have on-hand given the measurements in the screenshot?

    I believe the Prius has a camber kit that you can use to make it + again, not sure you can adjust the caster, but for the toe, it's adjustable by the tie rod.

    In the back you need a shim or shims on the rear to bring toe correct . And you need a crash bolt on the front right lower strut Bolt it will allow alignment guy to get it like left . Caster would be bent in . Most leave it . Speciality products make the camber bolts or crash bolts. You order the crash bolts by the car model so you find a dealer they go by the model .
