It is 30 MINUTES neg camber in the rear and 0 in the front.
Make sure that you have correct height in the rear so you will not have to stack too many shims to achieve camber. (basically show three inches of tire between the wheel rim and the fender lip QUOTE(Gatornapper @ Aug 2 2019, 06:04 AM) QUOTE(PatrickB @ Aug 2 2019, 06:52 AM) At a shop to check alignment after some work.
