Apparently I've got a problem. Driver's-side rear tire has camber, and the other side doesn't. Off to the dealership first thing monday morning. Questions:

1) New car, what should I be looking for to cause this? Improper shipping? Broken part?

2) I've put 1250 kms on this cambered tire. Will there be much pre-mature wear? I'm thinking I should fight for a new tire too...


Thanks.

 

On alignment rack..

Rear Camber ( equally ) can be adjusted with the CAM bolts nearest the Rear End Housing.. The passanger side must have slipped or Camber rod got bent. Stock is a small weld up rod..

Car needs to be measured on a flat ( with a level ) surface.

The alignment guy can do it quickly..
There are only two locations of CAM ( ecentric bolts ) those Camber bolts, and the CAM bolts for the traction rods.

The traction rods are the ones going forward to the chassis.

The Z likes -1 to -1.5 Negative Camber.. Check manual for Rear Tow in. By the way there is an little interaction that adding more Negative Camber - changes the rear tow...

Worst I've seen was when a set of sway bars were changed and the mechanic was making his job easier.. He undid the CAM bolts on the Traction bars. Installed the Sways and just bolted the traction rod CAM bolts down.

The Z ate a set of rear tires in 2000 miles.
