Ok so i got my car aligned last week. Once i got it back and talked to the shop they showed me this.
They said that i wont experience any camber wear. Doesn't this sheet show something else? The car is also still slightly pulling to the right. Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: forgot to mention that the back wheels still look like they have negative camber. (visually)

camber wear is a broad term. its actually the combination of bad toe (neagative or positive) and camber that cause excessive wear. your rear camber (1.1 & 1.2) is withing factory specs (1.5).

cant say why its pulling, but theres some alignment techs I see posting on here that should be able to tell you.

Do you have any camber kits installed?

Cross Camber: The difference side-to-side between camber settings. More than half a degree difference may cause a steering pull toward the side with the most (positive) camber.

Cross Caster: The difference side-to-side between caster settings. More than half a degree difference may cause a steering pull toward the side the least (negative) caster. Caster on the left front wheel is sometimes decreased to compensate for high road crown.

These two measurements may shed some light on pulling to the right.

As for rear camber, you still have Roughly - 1 (L)&(R).

Toe is going to kill yout tires more than camber. Try and see if they can get the rear toe closer to zero.

i do have a camber kit installed. So they should be able to fix that cross camber right? as for the rears, If they stay where they are right now, I will experiance inside wear right?

Yes, with camber kit installed they should be able to fix cross camber.

From what I've read, the factory setting for camber is set to have the front at least a half degree less than the rear. I currently run roughly -.50 front (L)&(R) and -1 in the rear (L)&(R). No signs of inside tread wear.

Sorry I meant to say I have a rear camber kit. Nothing up front. Does that mean the cross camber cant be fixed? As for front camber, if you have -.5 that means my front -1.9 is really bad right? Also if you are not experiencing any wear in the rear with a -1 then a -1.2 for me shouldn't be too bad right?

AcuraIntegTL

Without a front camber kit the alignment shop can't make adjustments, so they will not be able to fix cross camber. Your -1.9 is off by one degree and isn't too bad. There are a lot of members running higher negative camber to get their wheel setups to work. You will get innner tire wear, but it won't wear the tire as fast as toe.

Regarding the rear camber, -1.2 is fine.

Ok thanks, i guess ill just have to deal with the front wear. One last question, how come on the paper it says that before cross camber was 0.00 and after its -0.2?

AcuraIntegTL

That one, I'm not sure since...
After: (-)1.9 - (-)1.7 = (-)0.2
Before: (-)1.8 - (-)1.7 = (-)0.1
