Default Any ideas?

Why would the tires lean in on top? Can not get close to specs on the alighnment. Wouldnt mind a little but it is real noticeable and is making the car handle badly if the road is un-even. Also, when you hit some bumps at low speeds you can hear some rattling. Could it be ball joints or something else that is worn or a combination. Ih ave the prokit from eibach and the 14" from center of wheel to top of wheel wale is normal they said. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Negative camber is a good thing.

Yes it's a little darty at slow speeds, but that b!tch will bite on turn in.

Stock alignment specs will eat the outside edge of the tires.

What are the curretn specs?

I run
-0.5 camber
+4.5 caster
zero toe

I would like it not to dart at slow speeds and i really dont corner at 100 MPH either. I drive alot. The alighnment shop said that it is as far out as it will go (caster or camber, dont know much about alighnment). The car should be able to adjust to factory (or something in between) but it wont so im guessing something is worn or bent. Also, one side is worse then the other. Im really not sure exactly what the specs came out to be after i got the alighnment done but its noticeably bad.. It wasnt to bad at first but since about 15,000 miles it has gotten worse..
