    You'll get so many different answers. Some say 0 is best, others say you want .5° positive camber. In my opinion anywhere between 0 and .5° is good. The LR arms have PLENTY of room to deduct camber so that's definitely not the issue.

    so .8° is too much then? I might take it back to them and have them lower it then

    It's not what I would personally want. You *might* notice some wear on the outside of the tires after a long while. Technically it is within spec though.

    first off....you do not want any positive camber unless you dont like the outside of your tires tread....

    0 or negative (top of the tire in to centerline compared to bottom) only. Preferred ~ 0.2 to 0.4* of negative camber for even tire wear.

    next, the tech who did that alignment... take it back, if he cant get negative camber out of spc arms hes an idiot.

    If a few tenths of a degree of positive camber will eat the outside of the tires than a few tenths of negative camber will eat the inside of the tires just the same.
    0 camber would be great for perfectly even tire wear if you never had to turn.
