Alignment concern
Yesterday I had a 4 wheel alignment performed which used the newest type of laser machine by Bean. The fuel tank was 3/4 full. I would have liked the Rear Camber to be 0.00, however, you will note that they are slightly positive. The car is a daily driver. Any comments especially on the Rear Camber results. I could go back and have the Rear camber changed to 0.00 degrees The final numbers (all in degrees) were:
FRONT
Toe Caster Camber
Left Side 0.00 6.1 0.2
Right Side 0.00 6.1 0.2
REAR
Toe Camber
Left Side 0.00 ----- 0.5
Right Side 0.00 ------ 0.4
Total Toe: 0.00
Total Thrust Angle: 0.0

Re: Alignment concern (ETHYL)
uh. I kinda wonder if the "tech" doing your alignment knew what he was doing.
Those numbers could get you killed on a race track... positive camber is a bad bad bad thing...
I would go back. tell them it feels funny in the rear... which it should.

Re: Alignment concern (bogus)
I agree with you. However, the tolerence span for rear camber is -0.5 to +0.5 and it looks like the tech stopped when the machine indicated in the Green zone.
Thanks for your input.
