Camber after alignment

[tazz786]

Just got new tires and wheels installed as well as added Eibach pro kit to my firestorm FRS..nothing else had been done as far as camber/crash bolts ...After i got the alignment i noticed that the left rear camber says -2.0 and the right rear says -2.3 on this set up. Shouldnt the rear camber be the exact same? Is this something i should be worried about?

Tires i installed were 245 35 18 all around..wheels are XXR 527'S with 35 offset all around..also 10mm spacers in the rear both sides.

Camber is not the same in the rear from the factory. If I recall, mine was about .3 degrees off as well from driver to passenger side.

If you want to even it out, you're going to need rear lower control arms.

Hmm I suppose if it came like that from factory there shouldn't be too much to worry about then.. Thanks much!

false... factory alignments have historically been sporadic and a proper alignment will have that camber dialed in.

What needs to happen is a competent mechanic must play with the subframe to get rid of the cross slop. This requires patience and care... not all technicians care at all where your numbers end up if you don't hammer home your alignment specs at least to the counter guy, and even better still if you can meet the person doing the alignment. Make it personal to them. If they know you're expecting a certain performance and setup, they'll be less inclined to just throw it on the rack, dial out the toe, and call it a day.

And this is why I've found one guy who takes pride in his alignment jobs and I continue to go to him. He doesn't do "good enough" he does perfect.

This was the last alignment job we got done. Front was what really mattered but wanted 0 camber in the rear and a little toe in.

How did you get to 0 camber in the rear, and why?

Control arms and because drift car. That's on a crazy "240" though. Not a twin.

I think, that is not present.
