A couple of questions...(I was looking for a more performance oriented alignment..)
1) Does it matter if the Left front camber is alot different from the left right camber? Or is cross camber the only thing that matters?

2) My cross camber is positive but my left and right individual camber is negative. It is said that negative camber gives better handling. Is the camber here referring to the cross camber or the individual camber?


I have a G35C with 19" wheels , 350 evo a arms and battle version rear camber arms.

 

Your front right camber (-1.2) is twice the amount of the your front left (-0.6). On a stock G/Z you can't adjust the front camber. Only on the rears.

Your rear alignment is close to perfect OEM spec, but it's definitely not aligned to gain better handling. Unless you just want to travel in a straight line.

The front alignment is puzzling. I would take it back as ask why your front right camber is drastically different from your front left camber.

 

I have 350evo a-arms so camber adjustment is possible. The tech mentioned that I should be fine with only proper cross camber.

 

Then the tech doesn't know what the fawk he's doing. Why would he keep your front right adjusted at -1.2 and your front left at -0.6? Something isn't adding up.

It seems like he aligned the rears and said "screw it" for the front.

 

haha, after over 2000 alignments, you'd think i'd know what i was doing right???

Didnt have time to adjust the front camber tonight, had a couple other cars to do, as this was just a side job. Gonna take care of the front camber in the next couple days. But the cross camber is fine for now and wont affect temporary handling of the car... obviously so since its been at those specs since the last alignment to the car was done.
-GP-

 

LOL ... it seems the OP failed to mention this. Like I mentioned before, the rear alignment looked spot on. It seemed odd that a tech would get the rears almost perfectly within OEM spec and botch the front alignment.

 

no offense intended, was just curious about how would having different but in spec values for the left and right camber affect the handling of the car. Still looking for an answer lol.

 

the car will react differently to left and right turns for one (you might not be able to tell), and tire wear certainly would be different in the long term. The car also might be more prone towards tramlining on a freeway or badly crowned road.

 

were you in the car when the alignment was done? If not, then the front camber should come close to matching the right side, although the rear will then be slightly mismatched. The alignment should be done with the car's weight distribution how it is driven the majority of the time spiritedly

 

0.6 more camber is approximate 1/16" in the top of tire inward vs the other.

What's is the left front camber with you sitting in drivers seat, as the left body lowers about 1/2" with your weight [depends] in drivers seat.... the as driven camber may be spot on?

This is how you separate the wantabee alignments from the precision professional racing alignments..............the car is set exactly for the driver

 

car was corner balanced during the alignment for the front. no idea why the rear toe got so crazy though.

 

but the person who supposedly aligned your car is saying he didn't do the front yet, just did it quickly since he ran out of time

seems you should be talking to whomever did your car or is going to finish it...anything here is sorta useless info for you

 

I will bring the car back in a couple of days.

The alignment before was done by MWORKZ using scales. It was supposed to be -2 camber all round with 0mm toe in the front & 4mm toe rear. It was done on scales. Are scales as accurate as digital alignment at all?

 

The problem is you took it to Firestone! The mechanic has a set time to do your alignment, seems he ran out of time on your z.

 

I'm not complaining about anything...I am just curious about the previous alignment and doing the alignment with scales in general.
The current one isn't finished yet.

 

I think you're getting yourself confused...you cannot align a car with scales. Scales are used for cornerweighting.

 

yeah I am... I think they used strings. Sorry for the confusion.

 

A couple of questions...(I was looking for a more performance oriented alignment..)
1) Does it matter if the Left front camber is alot different from the left right camber? Or is cross camber the only thing that matters?

Yes, it matters alot and so does cross camber....rule of thump camber difference from left to right should be 1/2 degree difference to prevent a pull to the most positive side....right now your left side is closest to the most positive side than right side front...this means your right tire will wear more in the inner side than left side and could be pulling to the left abit but not very visible.

2) My cross camber is positive but my left and right individual camber is negative. It is said that negative camber gives better handling. Is the camber here referring to the cross camber or the individual camber?

cross camber is the difference between the left camber and right camber......

 

I was just here today. I got the lifetime alignment since I will need another one after (hopefully) fixing my shocks and installing my front camber kit. My rears are set to -1 (-0.9 and -1.0) for better ltraction out of a corner and straightline performance. Fronts are at -1.7 but I want to increase them to around -1.5 or more. I will ask if I can sit in the car next time.

As for the OP's weird front camber, hope your left turns are harder than your right
