I'm not so much worried about the back. The tires on the rear
appear to be wearing evenly across the tread with no cupping,
scalloping or uneven wear from inside edge to outside edge. I'm
most concerned with the front end. I think it has too little toe
and I don't think negative camber is good, if what I'm reading is
what it was set to.<br>

<br>
PS. Here is a reference from John Buckman that makes me think I'm
way<br>
out. His lists 0.1* Camber, which is more like what 1/8* (0.125)
should<br>
be. I may have to take this back -again- for another alignment.
