I'm annoyed that I'm just finding this out, nobody else's fault other than my own. Had my 2017 GT non PP for approx 5k miles.
During oil change, saw that inner front tires being very worn down, scheduled alignment. Tech said that there is 1.5% camber on both front wheels and isn't able to make any adjustments without camber bolt/kit. When questioned if it was due to worn out parts or anything else (car had 24k miles), he said no, that it's typical of the mustangs to come from the factory with that much. That may or may not be true, you all can chime in on that, but here is the part that concerns me:
The suspension is stock, does have 285/30R20 tires with the added weight of the Whipple SC. Does that sound like a recipe for the inner tires to be worn down that quickly? Guessing the tires have a little over 5k on them as they appeared to have a lot of tread when I purchased the car.
I have not tracked the car nor really hit up any twisties to account for additional uneven wear. Other measurement when attempting alignment was that toe out was at 1/16" on each front tire.
