Hehe, this is news. Well after putting my camber kit in (1.25-3 degree) and noticing an alarming amount of toe, I decided to take it to a tire shop. Red Barn Tires was one of the few that didn't scratch their heads when they saw how low it was.
Anyway, my toe was OUT, about 1.8 combined which is a lot more than the spec of 0.12 max. They managed to get it down to 0.01. Caster checked within spec.
Next up was camber... it appears my left wheel camber is -0.4 and right wheel camber is +0.45. The guy tried adjusting my camber kit for a while and eventually gave up; well of course he couldn't adjust it, it was already set on min.
When I got home I decided to measure the height and noticed the right side was about 1/8" higher... so what I'm gonna do is lower it down a little bit and hopefully that'll get rid of some positive camber. I'll also try adjusting the left wheel camber kit about 1/3 of the way out to get rid of the negative camber. Only thing is I'm afraid I'll get toe again if I adjust the camber kit.
The shop gave me a 3 month warranty... anybody think I can go back there and get it rechecked again after I mess with it a bit?
