Hi Kate,

There appears to be some variation in the figures. I found the following figures for our 2007 Alphard, via the jltechno lookup:

Alignment Data Lookup->Toyota->Alphard/Vellfire:H10 Series:MNH10W

 

Alignment Specs

 

Parameter	MIN spec	Standard spec	MAX spec
Front Total Toe	-0.17		0.17
FL Toe	-0.09		0.09
FR Toe	-0.09		0.09
FL Camber	-1.42		0.08
FR Camber	-1.42		0.08
Rear Total Toe	-0.25		0.25
RL Toe	-0.13		0.13
RR Toe	-0.13		0.13
RL Camber	-2		-1
RR Camber	-2		-1
Left Caster	1.67		3.17
Right Caster	1.67		3.17
Left SAI	N/A		N/A
Right SAI	0		0

 

To complicate matters, our wheel alignment specialist found alternative figures for 2002-07 Alphard, after searching Japanese data. They're a more extensive set of figures, but for some values the tolerance range is narrower than the figures above:

We chose to go with the figures that had less tolerance, on the basis that we'd be conforming with both sets of figures.

Worth noting, whilst the rear values are quoted, there's no adjustment because the rear axle is fixed. However, it could prove a useful check to see if the alignment is correct for the whole vehicle (we found ours wasn't,due to a poorly assembled wheel bearing retainer - 2 of the 4 nuts were missing so the leading edge of the wheel was facing slightly outwards...)

I inferred from the question that the regular garages don't have the data to do the alignment but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Kwikfit do indeed have the Alphards on their systems if anybody was wondering.

 

Bizarrely though they don't have torque settings for the wheel nuts so after they'd changed a tyre for me they were then unable, legally speaking, to put the wheel back on! They offered me the trolley jack and air gun for me to do it myself which I suppose shows willing.

[Geralt]

I finally got around to getting the wheel alignment done on my Alphard and turns out not all Kwik-Fits can/will do it.

 

I made an appointment at Kwik-Fit Cotteridge. They saw my van and expressed doubt they had the specs but I told them I'd seen the specs with my own eyes, they just needed to choose the Japanese database. They tried but failed so I left unaligned.

 

I then showed up at Kwik-Fit Kings Heath unannounced. They seem to be able to find the Alphard Gen 1 model range no problem. I just need to confirm the model number, e.g. ANH10W. It was done in less than 30mins.

 

So if Kwik Fit say they can't do it, they just need to phone the Kings Heath branch to find out how.

Yep, like most garages that start making a fuss or noise when they see an alphard, it's just poor training or incompetence.

 

I'm not a merchanic, but I found full diagrams, wiring, diagnostics, parts suppliers; there is really zero excuse for professionals.

I have the same issue.

I have an appointment with them on Saturday and they said they don't have the torque settings. Kwik Fit Stroud. How do I find those damn torque settings? 

Alphard 2007, 3.0., 4wd, MNH15W

 

Does anyone have any idea? I would really appreciate any idea or help. Suppposed to go on holiday abroad on Sunday and wheel alignment is off.

They are not on the jtech link:

Get Stroud to ring Kwik Fit Kings Heath to find out how to access the right database.
