Ok, the inside of my tires are wearing badly like everyone is complaining about, So I brought it back up to the very reputable body shop that fixed it from hitting the deer and this is what happened....I gave him the specs that were recomended here.
The print out shows my initial settings were..
Caster - Left: 5.8 deg
...........Right: 6.1 deg
Camber - Left: -0.6 deg
............Right: -0.7 deg
Toe - Left: 0.05 deg
.......Right: 0.00 deg
.......Total: 0.05 deg
Now he said he was able to get everything corrected EXCEPT the camber...... He said it had no more adjustment left in it....that it was maxed out. This is what was the final settings.
Caster - Left: 5.5 deg
...........Right: 5.8 deg
Camber - Left: -0.7 deg
........... Right: -0.7 deg
Toe - Left: 0.00 deg
.......Right: 0.00 deg
.......Total: 0.00 deg
Guys I'm almost clueless with this stuff, so whats your opinions? From what I do understand the car will still handle well, but will the adjustments he made do anything for the tire wear? I'm thinking not.....
He said he could only find one adjustment for the camber, he said it was the lower one(?) he said something about usually there is two, one top and one on the bottom with CV's and such.
Now these guys kind of did this as a favor as they did an alignment after repairing it from the collision, and when I told him about the abnormal wear and that I had new specs he said they would do it again if I brought them in with the vehicle, so I really don't want to over use a favor as sorts.
