You shouldn’t leave the left rear camber at -1.2. If it has an adjustment that needs to be standing up straighter. Just because it’s “in the green”, doesn’t mean it’s right. That customer will ALWAYS have inner edge wear on that corner if not addressed. That’s the difference between a good and great technician.
Yes, the camber should be just about the same on both of your front wheels but the numbers may be a little different as there is a small range that it is supposed to be within. So as long as it is in that range you are all good!
Because it’s not their car so they don’t care and they’re just very lazy at doing there job. The only time they ever do a perfect job is with their car
@Sun-el3zn pretty sure it has to do with hitting curbs while parking or even pot holes...... If it's at 0 there's a higher chance to go out of alignment.
Because the vehicles manufacturer specifies the angles that the vehicle performs and handles the best with. I would presume those angles are decided ultimately be weight factors on the chassis of the vehicle and its shape/aerodynamics. Whether it's front wheel drive or rear. Ect. Having all angles at a perfect "0" would work well if the car was designed for that but they rarely are. Standing the wheels up perfectly straight for an allignment would only give you better driving on a flat, straight road with minimal wind resistance. But as soon as you try and make a sharp turn the vehicle will lean too hard on the tyre and u risk rolling it. If the "camber' is slightly negative say by 0.4, then the wheels stand slightly out from one another, substantially increasing your cars handling, balance and roll resistance. Tldr: you need different angle for different model vehicles and tyres that are aligned at a perfect "0" aren't usually viable for road conditions.

Well actually if the customer asks for it the customer gets it. Shouldnt assume its just a standard alignment
It might also not be adjustable? Or already maxed out
@daveminuet8114 I agree 100% the hunter machines also make the camber/caster look much more dramatic than what it really is.
I also agree green/red colors on the machine are pretty much useless.
that negative camber though😂😂😂😂
He explained nothing😂
Hello how do you know if the aligment was done proper ?
Should the camber on the front be the same for both side I got my car aligned and on the report both sides went not the same after they were finished

Im getting biggg
Why can’t everything just be at 0? Wouldn’t that be easier

and still no garage can do it properly
