Alignment aspec done do i need a camber ?
Hi. just had my 06 tl auto drop with aspec suspension today and got it align at firestone. here is the info
front left
camber -0.6
caster 2.9
toe 0.02
front right
camber -0.5
caster 3.1
toe 0.00
rear left
camber -1.6
toe 0.04
rear right
camber -1.6
toe 0.07
do I need a camber kit? i have some ps2 tires on and those cost me a grip of money so I hate to see it wear like crazy due to this.
input?
thanks

Any setting outside the factory range will create more wear on the inside, albeit minor. Rotating won't stop the wear, but will only equal the uneven wear over all 4 tires. If you want it perfect, keep it inside factory tolerance. Might as well do it right even though it is minor and if the suspension should settle down farther, the camber will be negatively compromised.

Actually, the rear camber limit for the A-spec is about -1.8* so the camber is still in spec. Same for the front. No need for a camber kit.
I'll sell you mine if you really want it though. I bought the camber kit thinking I might need it. But my A-Spec camber has been hovering around -1.6 and -1.7 for the rears since I put it on 2 summers ago.

I'm still trying to figure out how added weight to the trunk affects toe etc.
My camber was out after I added the Comptech springs so I added the camber kit and had it aligned. All was fine the first summer but this year I experienced inner tire wear on the rear. The only difference was this year the car only went on a lot of trips with a loaded trunk. Abet 1/2 he miles. I had the alignment rechecked and all in spec. Note the rear camber was set very close to minimum spec ( vertical).
I know if you change the camber it changes the toe.

Put a vertical level on the outside of the rear tire, load up the trunk and/or put a couple of people in the back and watch the tire/wheel angle change. As the body lowers, the camber becomes more negative and will also change the toe slightly.

Additional weight in the trunk will change the camber slightly to more negative and affect inner rear tire wear. If the wear is smooth, camber, but if tread is feathered toe.
Put a vertical level on the outside of the rear tire, load up the trunk and/or put a couple of people in the back and watch the tire/wheel angle change. As the body lowers, the camber becomes more negative and will also change the toe slightly.
