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!

Those numbers are ok in the front, but the rear is a bit aggressive. 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.

There was to much toe and that has been corrected. I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to wreck the new tires going to RRC next month.
