My car is lowered, mostly in the front.

my camber is off as much as yours, doesnt do anything really.... except my toe is still within specs.
04-29-2013
I assume you got the toe fixed?
The camber is pretty normal for a lowered car, around -1.9 all around aint bad.
04-29-2013
So the camber doesn't need to be fixed? I'll probably fix the toe myself, the steering wheel is off also. They told me I needed slotted struts or a special kit to get the camber correct. My Camaro SS was different, camber was fixed no problem.
04-29-2013
slotted struts yes. but that camber is fine. im around -1.9/-2.0 as well and i dont wear out the tires any worse. toe needs to get fixed, itll eat tires.
04-29-2013
You can get it fixed if you want to.
Either buy camber bolts or slot the struts and adjust it that way.

Ok I will just fix the toe tomorrow and call it a day. My current tires are junk though so I'm not worried about the camber.

Oh and is it bad that my steering rack squeaks turning either way? I never got vibrations but the squeak definitely developed from lowering.
04-30-2013
I got a squeek after lowering when steering one way at very slow speeds. It eventually went away. I attribute it to the spring turning in the insulator.
My rear camber is in the 2 range but my front is within spec

dude if that's on an alignment rack and they were attempting to give you an alignment that **** is whack.
you do not need to run all the jazz. put the front at 1* and the rear at 1.5* of camber, run ZERO toe. caster you can't adjust without modifying the chassis.
04-30-2013
I'm positive that my rack is causing the squeaking. The boots might just be rubbing on something. And I'm just going to fix the toe myself and call it good.
04-30-2013
Well actually I'm just going to leave it how it is. The toe is only off 0.06* between the front 2 tires, if my steering wheel is turned a little bit, the wheels are straight. It doesn't bother me much.
04-30-2013
have fun eating up tires with that toe.
04-30-2013
But technically, the shop had my steering wheel straight, so the toe is really only off 0.03* on each side if the wheels are pointed straight (steering wheel may be a bit off but it's ok). Not sure about the rear though, looks like it'd be a ***** to get those wheels straight.

get toe to zero. and your caster is off by more than 0.5 of a degree
04-30-2013
you're toe'd out on every wheel on the entire car. you're going to feather all the tires to death and the car will never handle how it's supposed to.
ZERO toe on every corner with 1-1.5* of camber on every corner (evened out side/side).
having more or less caster will just help/hurt handling, but not effect tire wear.Originally Posted by blakgtp

I do agree toe shoul be zero. There is NO reason why they shouldn't have done it to begin with. You need to take it back as say hey wtf are you doing.

and then throw the papers at them lol jk

LOL guys, he told me before he did anything that they'd need to use the camber bolts or whatever. After he said that, I decided to not do anything so I left. He didn't say it couldn't be done. He said they could adjust the toe on all 4 corners for $75, seemed pricey so I said nah.

I bought the Firestone lifetime. Completely worth it. Only 200 bucks and you get unlimited times of alignment. I've already had it in there 3 times which more than pays for it
