DO YOURSELF a favor and take it to Darin @ WestEnd alignment in CA

I have a similar issue where my front camber has a .7 degree difference left from right. I took my car to Precision Z for an alignment and was told the vehicle may have frame damage since it was too much of a difference.

I told them that was highly unlikely since I bought the vehicle brand new and has never been in an accident although I heard its due to car built tolerances.

I made an appointment at West End Alignment so lets see how that goes.

Thank you guys so much for all the opinions and i will take it to a higher end alignment place once i get new rims and tires and eliminate all the other variables.
