I’m having a camber issue with the front and back of my 73 914. Here’s the alignment specs:
Front left: -0.5 Front right: -0.9 Rear left: -1.5 Rear right: -1.9 The shop says there is no more adjustment left on the front, so what are my options? The rear I’m assuming I can just add shims… Any help would be great, thanks! |

As long as you don't have any toe, you should not cook your tires with some negative camber. Shims should correct the rear camber issue. Matt |

I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to wreck the new tires going to RRC next month. |
