I just got a printout if my alignment specs, and my rear tires are all f-ed up I think. My camber in the rear is: -1.4 left/-1.2 right.
My toe is: -0.04 left/.29 right. I had my rear brakes replaced/rotors cut yesterday. Could that have changed the toe and the camber, because I don't think changing out the rear suspension would have any effect on the rear alignment.

Thanks and Peace.

 

the rear is not adjustable.. you can use the rear to align the front.. but you can't adjust the rear..

 

Yeah, that's what I thought. But how could the settings have changed from what they were before the brake job/alignment? This is my second alignment, that's how I know that the setting on the rear were different from what they are now. Do you think that toe setting on the right will wear my tire out faster than normal?


Peace.

 

Did you hit anything or drive over some crater-sized potholes? maybe something is bent slightly....

 

No potholes over my way kramerica72. Hmmmm, this is weird.

Peace.

 

in some serious cases you can use shims, to help out with the rear alignment but not many techs feel like playing with that.

 

What are shims Kash.?

 

rotors and calipers were installed backwards or wrong..

 

That has no effect on alignment.

Your actual..
My camber in the rear is: -1.4 left/-1.2 right.
My toe is: -0.04 left/.29 right

Your car is tracking perfect.

 

It is tracking perfect njmax, but I'm worring about uneven wear on the rear tires because of the toe. Other than that, everything is perfect.

Thanks.

 

That toe is so close I wouldn't worry. The rear tires don't pull the car, they just hang for the ride.

I'm thinking small variations in rear specs might somehow be influenced by changes up front, rotor work, and of course changing tire sizes.

Even though the rear doesn't adjust my rear total toe in deg has varied over the past 18mo .40, .51, .54, .77, .76, .83, .78, .77, .76.
Largest diff between L & R was +.23

 

Cool...
