camber specs

does anyone know what the stock camber/to specifications are for the front tires?

my left front is leaning outward very noticeable and is pulling to the left also rubbing the tire a good bit

trying to find out what the stock specs are so i can attempt to fix it myself with a friend who has a sh-t load of tools. and worst case scenrario what common places can do a front end alignment to fix this. im doubting walmart can?

Take it to someone with the right tools to measure your alignment, its not something you can just eyeball.

Ok, how about "you'll likely screw it up worse", but to answer your question.

The stock specs run something like +.1 to -.2 for camber. They are basically shooting for 0. It isn't the best way to make the car handle, but that's the spec (off the top of my head).

Remember, when you move the camber setting, the toe setting moves. So, you'll probably destroy tires in short order once you try this.

Good luck.

If you're going to set it, I'd shoot for -.5, and if it's easy to get set, change the other side, then reset the toe to 0. If you're going through the trouble.
