Got new tires + alignment; all numbers in spec. 2 weeks later go to another shop because my steering wheel was just a little bit off to th right. They do the alignment and now my left rear camber is 0.1 degree off of specs...

Is this normal?

Thanks for your valued opinions.

 

Dont worry about it, thats not far out enough to worry about. When it get to -1.5 or higher(more-) then replace the short lower links in the rear suspension

 

Thanks a lot!I'll check my numbers when I get home tonight but I think the left rear camber is at -1.6 and it was -1.4 just 2 weeks ago. It doesn't make any sense. I think they did not know what they were doing.

 

Was there any particular variation in the way the car was loaded when the different alignments were done? Guidance is that there should be 20 litres of fuel and no 'baggage' in the trunk. Tyres correctly inflated too.

 

I can align a car, reset the machine, bring specs back up and reset the car for the before readings and theyll be differant than the 5 minutes earlier without taking the car off the rack. Really dont loose sleep over it. Now that Im thinking of it, what you should do is get a couple new pics for the "girls on Jaguars" thread in the OFF TOPIC section of the forum

 

Thank you for your insight, the second alignment was performed with an empty trunk and a full tank of gas (60 liters) as opposed to the first one: empty trunk but 15 liters of gas. I had no idea this could affect the camber.

Does it mean I need to do a third one?

 

Sure, but you'll have to wait for Summer because we are freezing here right now.
