Sorry to beat this to death, but I am confused..

I have a 2000 ITR and STOCK suspension except for the uppers.

Before adjusting the camber I just went ahead and measured it.. I calibrated the camber guage (dial and bubble..against a known plumb wall.. old school)

I got -2 RF and -7 LF.. how can I be at -7 when the skunks only allow for +/-4?? I KNOW what -7 would look like and this IS NOT looking like -7.

Tire pressures are the same, car is close enough to level... suspension is loaded(and on the ground) when I measured. I also drove the car 10 feet forward and 10 feet back to settle the suspension.

Any thoughts?

 

Are you resting or attaching the gauge against your wheel or your hub?

Rim. On the lip of the rim. I made some standoffs to clear the tire, but I made sure its calibrated with those on.. and there was no difference...

 

Any other ideas?

 

There is no way you have -7 degrees of camber on the front wheel.

Perhaps the surface is not level like you assume...

Find someone local that has a digital gauge that can be calibrated...

 

I just made an appointment with a local alignment shop.. Let them got me on the right path...

Thanks.

 

Good choice

It's worth the $50 every time.

 

You should find a shop that will set in with you in the car.
