Front end camber difference?
While doing research on camber plates I read about how the camber on the front end of our cars (06 MCS) is usually off (ie left front and right front). Someone was saying that the factory did that because most roads are crowned. Can someone verify that and if so which side has more camber?
TIA

Typically toe is used to account for a crowned road, not camber. Toe can be adjusted while camber typically cannot. The difference is a build tolerance and I think you will find that these sort of tolerances exist, meaning they are much more common place than most folks think.
Personally, I square up my specs because; we travel in both lanes on two lane highways, moutainous roads are not uniformally crowned and race tracks are not uniformally crowned.
