So I just took my car to have it aligned and asked them to set my rear camber to 0. Yes I have adjustable control arms cuz my car is lowered and Yes I know that it will handle like crap at 0 but being in Florida were there are few twisty roads, the inside edge of my tires get eaten up. Soooo....I leave the car with them and when I come back they tell me they couldn't set it to 0 because it would pull the toe way out of alignment, is this actually correct. I know toe is adjustable but only by trial and error and I dont actually expect them to do this. I'm frustrated because I'm pretty sure another shop has set it to 0 or damn close without screwing up the toe.

 

I reckon that's legit. With the adjustable LCA reducing camber moves the hub inwards, and since that hub has a trailing arm to locate it that varies the toe.

I run at -1.0 and do not have wear issues - perhaps a compromise is possible?

By the way, I'd expect the toe to go positive in the scenario you describe. That would make the car pretty twitchy...

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Though I've never tried this, I don't buy it. I would say that you can go to 0-2mm toe and 0 camber. When I set the camber the other day to 1.25 deg negative, me changing the toe didn't affect the camber at all.

 

How does this look?

Trailing-arm bracket has to move a little?

Cheers,

Charlie
