Camber and Toe - do I need a camber kit?
okay, I just went to firestone to get an alignment. I got these readings
LF:
Camber: -0.06
Caster: 2.33
Toe: 0.02
RF:
Camber: 1.73 Range: -1.00 to 1.00
Caster: 1.95
Toe: 0.03
LR:
Camber: 0.06 Range: -1.00 to 0.00
Toe: 0.09
RR:
Camber: 0.43 Range: -1.00 to 0.00
Toe: 0.04
The BOLD ones are RED on the paper, I'm guessing something is wrong with them since they don't fit in between the ranges. Will I only need a camber kit on the front right? or do I need a camber kit on the FR, LR, RR. Should I just get all 4 or the 2 fronts or just the 1 FR and the LR since it's so off. All the Toe's are set straight now, where's a good place to get camber kits for cheap? or good brands yall suggest? Is it okay to get a camber kit only on one side of the car? or only on one wheel?
By the way : My steering wheel pulls right barely when I let go, it was worse before I got the alignment, but my tires were really bald on the inside which was why I got the alignment in the first place so for sure I need new tires. Do you think new tires will adjust the camber straight if I get an alignment after new tires since the tires are bald in the inside or do I have to get a camber kit?
Thanks in advance guys

Yeah that right front is way out! You don't want positive (wheel leaning out at the top) camber at all and that is a lot. Sounds like you may have some bent suspension peices.

Your right front is way off... all camber kits come in pairs. so just buy them and install it. make sure to take it to an alignment shop to have them adjuster the camber using the kit.

Ok I take it that your car is lowered. I don't think you should ever have a positive camber. Like Chad said, check to see if your suspension pieces are bent. And concerning the camber kits, you should always get the rears when your lowering you car. Some people said that the fronts don't matter so much but the rears are very important to have the camber fixed. In my opinion, i would get them all to avoid premature tire wear. And in your case, seems like you definately need both front and rear camber kits.

P.S
rear camber for the type s
-1.5 to 0.5
front camber
-1.0 to 1.0
