05 TL Alignement and Camber Specs?

I just got my car aligned again, what are the numbers supposed to be? Everything turned out okay according to NTB except the rear camber.

Are all the numbers supposed to come out to zero? Everything was near zero except rear camber which was around 1 I think... will have to check on that. But yeah, what's it supposed to be?

It's in your owner's manual. Take a look in Specifications. It's in my 04 manual, so it should be in the 05/06 also.

thanks ron... according to the manual and my alignment chart, it looks like my rear camber is off by .7 and .6 on the two rears (both should be 1.0). Is 1.0 to 1.7 a big difference where I should get a camber kit as soon as possible?

Also, oddly my right rear toe was way off where my left rear toe was fine in the "before" chart.. I thought that was wierd. What causes these differences and why would one side be different than the other before alignments?

My car is still on stock susp (2004AT, looking for A-spec susp install very soon), but I checked my alignment about 1.5 years into car's life/20Kmi after getting new tires, and oddly enough, found that rear-right toe in is out of spec by I think 0.2. The guy tried to reallign it, and only made it worse, like 0.35. I am not worried since I will be installing A-spec susp soon.
0.7 off on a camber sounds a bit alarming, I'd cosider camber kit if I wanted to keep the car and tires for a long time, how much are you dropped?

I am not positive, but think the alignment spec may be different for dropped suspension. Ron, is there anything in the manual for A-spec suspension about alignment? I am gonna need that info for my install too..


Although, again, if it is a camber problem after drop - it can not be rectified anyway since this car has no camber adjustment (unless u use camber kit), so there may be no different alignment specs in the manual...Just thinking loud.
