Default camber question????

k so i have some pretty bad negative camber in the back and i was gonna put 2 washers under the 2 bolts to push the wheel out so i can get the wheel straight..if i put those washers under the bolts do i need to get longer bolts so the same amount of threads are in the frame? thanks

Depends on the thickness of the washers. But i would recommend getting longer ones regardless and using anti seize because those bolts like to seize themselves

how much camber do you have when you say you have bad camber? I would not call -3 degrees of camber bad. And yes, it is a good idea to get longer bolts.

Longer bolts, anti seize, Grade 8 fasteners, some washers stainless peferably, Torque them to 29ft/lbs and your good to go.

Negative camber won't cause any additional tire wear.

Failing to keep the toe in alignment will.
