Tyre alignment

cnoc

I got 4 wheel alignment on new tyres. Two of the readings for ‘Final’ were in red:
Front Camber Left 1° 00’
Rear Camber Right -1°48’

Are the readings okay?
TIA

What's the make, model, year and engine of your car?
If it's in the red then yes it is out, but how much out, hard to say without more details.

Apologies, but I didn't see your response until now.

Final 1º 00’ (in red)

Rear Camber Right: Initial -1º 48’ (in red)
Specs. Min -1º 30’ Max -0º 30’

Do you mean Front Camber Left? That is an insane amount of toe in on the front, it can't be right.

Unfortunately there is no camber adjustment on the front or rear of the 2005 Honda Accord.

The rear toe does have some adjustment via an eccentric bolt. Adjusting this would also change the camber slightly in the process, but I don't think it would be enough to bring it from -1º 48’ down to -1º 30’.

The only reason that these readings would be out is due to badly worn suspension components or possibly the car was in an accident.

If the car is driving ok, and you are only concerned about this from a tyre wear perspective, then I wouldn't worry about it. Excessive negative camber does wear the inside edge of tyres, but not as much as toe. Out of spec toe really accelerates tyre wear.

Apologies, you are correct, it is Front Camber left.
The car is driving fine (it has never failed the NCT as well). Yes, it is from a tyre perspective I was making the inquiry. It is driving pretty straight when I check the alignment.
Thank you very much for your input.
