My camber specs after alignment
Hi guys. I just ordered some new wheels and tires, so i was wondering what you guys think about these alignment specs. I'm only concerned about the rear numbers; i have the front properly set.
My main question is: will this rear camber chew up my tires because of the difference between the numbers? Please check it out:
REAR:
Left Toe: 0.05
Left Camber: 0.0
Right Toe: 0.04
Right Camber: -1.5
There is a 1.5" drop (H&R). I'm using the rear bolt and washer trick on both sides of the car, only 1 washer for the left and right.
Can i take out the washer from the left side of the car to add some negative camber to help even things out? Should i add a washer to the right side to get some extra positive camber? Or, is this setup ok? I know that 0 camber isn't great for handling, etc. but i just can't afford to have to purchase new tires every so often.
Thanks for your help and input

Re: (v4lu3s)
The alingment printout that i have says that 0 to -2 is within spec.
My concern is that because one side is -1.5 and the other is 0, will this cause significant uneven tread wear?

Re: My camber specs after alignment (AntiRice Superstar)
It shouldn't be off by that much between each side. I would suspect suspension damage somewhere, maybe the trailing arm, maybe the LCA, or something else.
FWIW I'm running -2.3 in front and -1.9/-2.1 in back for camber and I've had no problems with uneven tire wear over the past 35K miles. Proper toe settings and frequent tire rotation are key.

Re: My camber specs after alignment (PatrickGSR94)
Do you guys suggest that i invest in a rear camber kit to replace my ghetto washers?
