Accurate geometry on the 2018 Nissan Maxima depends on setting caster, camber, and toe to Nissan’s factory specifications, front and rear. Using OEM data and dealer-grade equipment, we reference spec windows for each axle and adjust within tolerances so tires wear evenly and the Maxima tracks true. The front axle typically requires careful camber and toe correction to prevent edge wear, while the rear adjustments help stabilize high-speed manners and braking.
