Default allignment specs.

are the figures I provided within specs. and if not, how bad will they effect tire wear? I just replaced the fronts, and plan to replace rears next year, after bringing car out of storage, when I will have a complete alignment done. I most likely will be driving limited miles less than a 1000, until I put it away. thanks for the help, mike.

Are they within specs, yes. Will they cause tire wear, yes. The left side is too low for everyday driving and may push right because it is lower than the right.

There are other angles to consider as well. Toe is the biggest wearing angle.

Default front alignment

left camber is only thing that is out on front of car. out by -.1 degree I want to wait till next spring, when I will replace back tires, and have a full alignment done. I don't plan on putting more than a 1,000 mi. on car, then will be put away for winter. thanks for all your help, mike.
