Once the car was up on the rack, we found that the front axle toe was off. So we managed to align it back, and in conjunction, fixing the steering as well. Not sure whether this would be due to the springs settling down, or a shitty alignment job done by the first shop.

My camber however, were off in the rear with -2.14 on the left and -1.59 at the right. Since in my eye I can't really make do until they're both perfectly zeroed on -2, I have ordered myself an adjustable LCA to remedy this matter.

What I would like to know is, whether is it okay to run a difference of 0.5 camber on each side? From a daily drive point of view. Just for knowledge purposes.

Lastly, big thanks to @Dezoris for the article on alignment.
Unless you are really competing in some type of event a .5 cross camber difference is not a big deal as most cars from the factory suffer this.

But if you have adjustable camber now, getting it closer should be easy.
