Got my car aligned...
Got my car aligned... The guy didn't get the camber I wanted, but oh well I guess.
Left Front
Camber - 0.0*
Caster - 4.8*
Toe - 0.01"
Right Front
Camber - 0.0*
Caster - 5.3*
Toe - 0.00"
I was wanting a negative degree of camber. Maybe I'll have someone do it later.
My thrust angle was 0.08*, can you all tell me if this is a good thrust angle?

That's because he didn't give it to you. He set it @ zero, not because you couldn't get it.....

An note that he could have gotten it, the guy just wouldn't do it, which would **** me off to no end. I understand why they often don't, but if you explain why and that you'll take responsibility....

A lot of them give the excuse that it's just too hard to do on our cars since when you try to get max neg. camber with max pos. caster you mess up one or the other and have to keep redoing the setup (or so they say). Even the ones willing to take the time and effort want to make you sign a waiver not to hold them responsible for excessive inside tire wear.

Camber is where you get your turning grip rite? I had mine set @ -0.5 to -1.0. So far my front inside tires are wearing out alot more than before the alignment. Lots of rotating the tires more often. So if anything good came out of that is that you arent goin to wear out your front inside tires unevenly.

Toe is much more responsible for that kind of tire wear than is your -.5 to -1 degree of camber. That's not much camber at all, and many performance cars spec that from the factory. I'll lay money you had some (and likely too much) toe-out.

Verdad Gallardo A bit will make the front end really responsive.. but too much will also cause bad tire wear on the inside (assuming any negative camber at all) and a sense of the front not biting very well in tighter radius corners. Classic case of a little is fine, too much is not.
I will run up to about 3/32" of total toe out in autocross cars. Less in more dual purpose cars, and zero to a touch of toe-in on street only or track cars.
