alignment jacked up

Got my alignment done today at a shop who is also a vendor here. No names

Wanted 1.5 front 1.2 rear camber

Rear no problem

Front they told me baseline was 1.0 left 1.44 right so they said if they flip right bolt ill end up with 2+ camber

Basically now im sitting at 1.9 left with bolt flip 1.45 right no bolt flip

Kinda bugs me. Lowered on eibach pro kit with 18x9.5 +20 rota grids stock rubber


Any advice?

When you flip the bolt, it gets around -2 degrees camber, but there is actually a little bit of play still with how it's tightened. To get more negative camber, pull the bottom of the hub towards you as you tighten both nuts. To get less negative camber (which is what you want it sounds like), then push the bottom of the hub inwards as you tighten. I bet they could get them both closer to -2 by playing with how they pull/push on the hub as they tighten the nuts up. Not sure if they will be able to get both sides down to only -1.5. I'd recommend bolt flip on both sides, and push to get less negative camber than -2. Even if you end up at -2, I don't think it really makes that big a difference with tire wear.

There is a lot more than an alignment other than the camber settings. However your camber should have been a little closer than that.

i ended up taking it to my man cyrus at JC autohouse... those of you from so cal should know.. he fixed it up like nothing.. -1.5 both side front -1.2 rear...

the guys at evasive were very nice.. but it just seems like they didn't want to put in the extra work to get it right.. i was put under the impression that this is the best they can do..

obviously the best can do much more.. i don't know why i didn't go to JC in the first place like I always do..

wasted 100 bucks on a lazy job
