Rep Power: 296

Alright, i know there are a ton of threads with people asking "are they alignment specs ok?" but there isn't one with these numbers..

i don't have the print out with me, i forgot it on my way out this morning, but i'll get it at 10 on my break so i can get exact numbers.

the toe and caster are fine (i think) but the camber numbers are way off!

approx. they are:

rear right -4.67
rear left - 1.9

front right - 1.87
front left - 1.06


i took it to Sears of all places, but thats because i don't know where else to take it. there is NO more room to put positive camber in the back...they're so close to the fender, any more and they'd rub for sure. what do i do?!

Be like everyone else that has your problem and leave it... lol. Thats why alot of the super dumped cars have bad camber, so they can fit it without rolling their fenders.

if you've got one rear at -5 and the other at -2, you've got a broken something.
Raise the car up and/or roll the fenders.

so....its NOT all the uncommon? tirewear aside...how will the BIG difference in the rear effect driving?

and i don't think i'm dropped all the low..im on neuspeed sports with tokico hp's

boiler, are you saying you think i might have something broken??!

Something is broken, or they don't know how to make adjustments. If you're 3 degrees off, something is messed up, severely.

It looks like they adjusted half the car. Either go back and get the right side done, or take it somewhere else. Those numbers are pathetic if you paid money to have someone set your camber straight.

they said they cant do anything! for the front right, they said they need to put a camber kit on to do anything...and for the rear right, there is NO room to get rid of some of that neg camber.

i have a front camber kit that i never got around to installing...and they wont do it for me, so i can take care of that..but the back.. i dunno..

how does having such a difference in camber on either side effect driving?

yeah it does. The car is basically going to snap one way and be sluggish the other. If you've got that much of a difference, you need to start looking for a problem. Either you got one side lower than the other by a significant amount, something is broken, improperly installed or you have 2 wheels that differ in offset such that you can't correct the camber equally without hitting stuff.. Something is just simply NOT RIGHT. I don't know what else to tell you.
