Hmm. I love these lists!
The SHOtimes FAQ states:
"Camber should be -0.5 to -1.0 degrees per side, also balanced side-to-side.
Camber more than -1.0 degrees, will accelerate inside edge tread wear."
So, based on the above we were shooting for something less than -1.0 per
side, since this a grocery getter, not a track car. However, you are correct
that there is plenty of negative camber adjustment on the right side, so
putting more negative camber in to the right side would be easy to do.
Is is the imbalance in left right camber that's the major culprit here or
the fact that the left side was above -1.0 deg?
Thx again.
