hi i was wondering if my front camber and alignment was right. here are the results i got after the alignment. the reason im asking this because my two front tires look like it has a little positive camber and the caster are a little off too.

the toe are perfect at .0

LF: CAMBER before .06 after .06
CASTER before 2.8 after 2.8

RF: CAMBER before .06 after .05
CASTER before 2.1 after 2.1

that is fine. You can't adjust caster, it changes when you change the camber. It is slight positive but nothing to be worried about. It would be preferred to have slight negative camber, but that shouldn't kill your tires, just make your car handle kinda crappy.

right now both of my toes are at .0 and i was wondering if i adjust the camber a little to get a little negative camber would that change the toe or anything?

Yes, camber changes toe. If you want more camber, you need a realignment afterwards. Anytime you change it, you need to get it redone. If you want the maximum negative camber you can get, push the knuckles up and in then tighten the crash bolts. With camber bolts or plates, adjust accordingly.

man i didn't know that. sux... i thought that when they do the alignment they are gonna fix my camber problem. all that guy did was just adjust the toe and left my camber positive and its really bothering me and i dont want to pay another 80 to change the camber. ahhh this is crap.

Change it, take it back and tell them the car drives funny, make them double check it. Completely proper? No, but since when are auto garages not greaseballs too? Just make sure you do it quickly, most places won't do a recheck after a few days.

Ouchh!!! I'll warranty an alignment for 6 months or 6,000 miles, which ever comes SECOND!!! We believe in treating our customers fairly, and do not consider ourselves 'greaseballs'. We adjust whatever is adjustable on every car we align, and do a lot of alignment work on custom trucks, hot rods, and such. We always try to insure that the car will drive straight, and not wear tires.

BTW, based on your camber & caster numbers, I would guess the car may pull slightly to the right. A car typically pulls to the side the least caster and most camber. We always try to set a car up to compensate for crowned roads, and it looks like they did not do this. What shop was this?? A big name shop, or a small garage??
