My Barn Find Alignment Question

[jeffnhiscars]

After redoing my front end and suspension I had an alignment done and would appreciate some input as to how important correcting some of these numbers is. Keep in mind I did an e36 rack, all new steering including offset CABS. The suspension is H&R Cabrio springs with Bilstein Sports & e90 drop hats. All mounts, pads, links brackets etc are new

Front camber reads L -1.5 R -1.7. Max specified range is -1.2 to - 0.2. Is that close enough to avoid camber plates ?

Rear camber is L -1.6 R-1.0 The left is spec and Im wondering if the right could be the result of a failed subframe bushing. I have all the bushings and do have weld in camber adjusters but am thinking if its just the one side out could it be the bushings ?

Total rear toe. Each side is within spec (L.09 R.10) but total toe is .19 and spec is .27-.50. Is that a big deal ?

These numbers are close so Im wondering how much corrective action ZI really need to take.

Thanks for any input.

Front camber is a bit high, but acceptable. The only negative affect will be slightly increased tire wear. Setting less front toe (zero) will reduce the wear rate, at the expense of directional stability. The rear camber asymmetry needs to be fixed. There is a good chance that new rear trailing arm bushings and/or new subframe bushings will fix it. Those will probably also fix the toe error.

Thanks Jim. I was hoping to avoid welding the rear sub frame and if I was that worried about tire wear Id changing my driving habits :-)

I do rotate front/rear every oil change or so which does seem to keep them fairly even so we will see how that goes
