It depends what you mean by "off." I've got mine set to .21-.22 and -1.5 camber in the back. My setup handles like tha bomb. Tire wear has been perfect, and stability at high speeds is great. If it feels good to drive, it might be OK. Just keep an eye on tire wear to make sure it's even.

Well, just crunching numbers from the posts here:

Front:Left
-0.6 Camber I'd say extreme on this, says that at time of adjustment you want +-.1, this is -.3, the far end of in spec.
5.5 Caster Out of spec, 5.85 is the minimum front camber, 6.15 max.
-0.01 Toe In spec, but if he can get to -.01, why can't he zero it out?

Front:Right
-0.6 Camber Same as my comments on left.
5.4 Caster Ditto.
-0.01 Toe Ditto.

Rear:Left
-1.4 Camber Extreme end of adjustment spec, I'd want him to get a bit closer to -1.3.
0.20 Toe Within spec.

Rear:Right
-1.7 Camber Out of Spec entirely, max neg camber should be -1.4 at time of adjustment, it's even -.1 further out than it should be at all.
0.20 Toe Within spec.



EDIT: Was this a dealer? Who did the alignment?

The alignment is pretty close.. most would not fool with it. A little extra negative camber won't hurt.. it is hard to get caster right on, and the toe looks pretty good. Some dealership personnel cannot get that close.

Thanks guys for your help.

The dealer did the alignment.

I'm so pissed off because not only I paid $90...they also scraped my front lip.
