Default My alignment #'s

A friend who works at the Mazda dealership just got and install 4 new tires for me. He did his best to give the car an alignment, but had trouble (as my car is lowered 2 inches and also some part was "frozen).

I could type all the numbers out, but my Camber was the only number that was far out of spec. Everything else was "green" meaning in tolerance.

Left Front Camber: -1.7%
Right Front Camber: -1.2%
Left Rear Camber: -1.3%
Right Rear Camber: -1.9%

He explained this will increase the wear on the insides of the tires. If this doesn't seem too far out of whack I'll wait to get a proper alignment at the stealership.... if I can.

Front camber isn't independently adjustable. The best anyplace could do would shift the subframe and equalize the left/right sides. Not many places will do this for you however.

If you want independent adjustments for the front camber you should pick up from Stern adjustable arms. They'll offer independent camber and caster settings for the front.
