Camber adjustment affects toe correct?
On a 350z, camber adjustment affects toe correct? I had a camber issue in the rear so Kinetix rear camber kit was installed. After installing it, I noticed the toe was very off. So without going to an alignment shop, I measured the distance from the front point of the two rear tires and compared them against the distance from the rear point. It was about an inch difference between the two measurements. I know measuring like that isn't very accurate compared to what they do in an alignment shop but I just wanted to know how bad it was. I have the SPC toe bolt coming but I was just wondering about the camber adjustment.

yes, camber affects toe and vice versa. when you take it to the alignment shop, you'll see that the tech will adjust one, then the other, and back and forth until you're back into specs.

no problem...seems that everything is as it should be. just make sure to look at the before and after spec sheet and make sure that they are within' the specified tolerances/differences.

It's normal but a lot of toe in will make the car feel dangerous. Back off the positive camber some until you get those bolts (though they won't help very much).
Remember that you want about -1deg min in the rear for camber.

The SPC bolts don't help very much? I searched multiple threads and I thought those were the best bang for the buck? I have -1.3 for the rear tires but just as much for the front. I was hoping not to have to buy a camber kit for the front but looks like not. So around -.7 for the fronts and -1.4 for the rears is fine for camber correct?
