Took my car to an alignment shop, was shooting for
-1.25 camber front
0 toe
max caster

-2.0 camber rear
1/4" toe in

He was able to get -2.0 degrees on one side of the rear, but only -.5 on the other side. He said it wouldn't go anymore negative... Any suggestions guys? This is really pissing me off, paid $70 for an alignment and have only -.5 degrees camber in the rear.

Either he is incompetent or you have something bent/busted in your suspension. Or both.

I've had to replace a front camber bolt that was frozen into the bushing it passed through. This eliminated any chance of being able to get camber.

Thanks for the responses... are the bushings easy to inspect without completely removing the camber bolts? I haven't noticed any obvious damage so far... they shop I took it to wants to put it on frame machine to check it out but the car has never been in a major accident to my knowledge (carfax is clean and only 1 previous owner). I'll probably just take it to another alignment shop before letting them touch it again.

BTW, is your suspension stock?

p0pe

Everything is stock except for a front saner bar set @ medium.

mikegarrison

Just checking.

had you ben in an accident? If so replace the knuckle. It's probably bent and you won't beable to see it w/o measuring.

p0pe

No accidents while I've had the car and none reported by the only previous owner or carfax. Although it could have been in a minor accident and not reported...

Sorry to dampen your faith in carfax, but it could have been in a really major accident and not been reported. Last I checked, my S2000 is "clean" in carfax, and I put it into two concrete walls when I spun it going 80 down the front straight of Pacific Raceways.
