    Treehouse cabs affect camber?

    Below are the stock values. My alignment got everything but the unadjustable camber spot on. My caster is:

    LEFT 2.02

    RIGHT 2.14

    Do the treehouse cabs affect this and is it something to be concerned with?

    Thanks

    STOCK #s:
    Left camber : -1.89
    Left caster : 9.53
    Toe : 0.15
    Right camber: -2.03
    Right caster : 10.22
    Toe : 0.15

    Here is the cab for referance:

    No one has any input? Someone must have.

          They affect caster only. The negative camber is from your springs.

            M3 springs affect camber? Is it something to be concerned about? Is there anything short of changing the springs I can do?

            Thanks Ken.

            btw no luck with GOOD upholsterers. Still looking though.

              Camber plates will allow you to adjust camber back to "stock" specs which will allow for better tire wear. Anything that lowers the car from stock (m3 springs) will give you more negative camber. Get some camber plates :)

                The M3 springs will give you a bit of negative camber. I wouldn't be concerned about 2 degrees. It'll give you a little more stability into hard corners.

                Don't worry about the upholster; Diego found me one in Peru for an excellent price.

                    Any spring that is lower than stock will add camber. The lower you go the more camber you get. What you have is not enough to worry about.
