Default alignment out of whack

I just went to get my alignment done after putting bigger wheels/tires on and they were not able to get my rear camber within spec. Any idea's on what would cause this?

rear left camber -2.6
rear right camber - 2.0

Are you saying they could not get the numbers any more POSITIVE than what you posted? What is the goal?

I have the same issue with the front. Right side is only capable of -2.0 while the drivers side can get to -2.6. I thought that was a huge margin from side to side.

I pulled the wheels to check the A-arms just to see if they were bent and they looked fine.

Anyone else have an idea to why such a large difference between right to left?

that was the closest they could get the camber to stock. Going up to rodney (chris) to check it out today. I think it may be one of my bushings.

I didn't even think of that. Hopefully something like that happened at the factory. Ill have to look at it next time its on a hoist.
