Rear camber issue.

[Billy2015GT]

Had another alignment done 3 months ago and this is what my rear tires look like.My fronts look like new.I’m gonna adjust the oe camber arms myself,because no way will Firestone get in there to do it.I also have the BMR fixed camber arms
that I haven't installed yet, there longer then the oe arms.Also what's the best way to remove the camber arms inner bolt on the drivers side being that the gas fill line is in the way.Any help would be appreciate thanks.

Looks like left rear toe out is your culprit.

That type of wear looks like bad toe, not camber. Generally bad toe shreds tires pretty quickly. Ask me how I know lol!

Yea,looking at the alignment sheet,it’s the toe not the camber that’s the problem.I have the adjustable toe links.

Should be an easy fix. DIY if you have the tools to adjust and measure. Or a good alignment shop could handle it with ease.

Just to repeat what the other guys have already said, your rear toe is jacked. I didn’t even look at the rest of the sheet.

OK, I went back and looked for entertainment. That entire alignment is a joke. Who ever did that needs to be punched in the face.

In fact, you’re worried about rear camber? Your rear camber is actually the ONLY thing that’s even remotely OK with that sheet.

Did the car have a driver side accident? To be that far off on DS camber and toe, and rear toe, I mean they had to do this with their eyes shut. Or something got hit.

I can honestly say I've never seen positive camber on the front of a Mustang before.

I think I would find a new place to get my alignment done. They cost you a set of tires but not adjusting that rear toe. By not adjusting that it throws off the whole alignment. SMH I would have them pay for the new tires and correct the alignment.

No accident, apparently the so called mechanic at the Firestone I was going to do, doesn’t know what the hell he’s doin. Now that I’m starting to get some knowledge about alignments, it’s definitely not gonna happen again. I’m gonna have to take it to someone else and see if they could get it back to spec or close.Either way it’s costing me 2 new tires soon.So does this look like toe and not camber?The rear passenger side has the most wear on the inside of tire,thanks.

If the car has not been in an accident, then the tech didn't mount the alignment sensor for the wheels properly. No factory car should have positive camber up front. And would be VERY noticeable just looking at the car.

It's toe.

I'm in a legal battle with a dealership at the moment for performing a bad alignment and shredding two tires(they refused to cover the two tires they ruined). They actually did the alignment bad twice. An alignment is something I value now as something as important as rebuilding an engine. A good alignment allows the car to perform well and prolongs the life of tires. And since a set of MPS4S are nearly 1800 bucks its well worth the time to find a good shop to do it

I've been using this set up all year, 315-30 18's square. Continental Extreme Force. No issues.
Been to Sebring, VIR, Daytona and Road Atlanta.

After looking at your sheet,what a disgrace it is what they did to my alignment.I wish i educated myself about alignments before having this last alignment done.They sent me out the door like this,I didn’t know any better.I don’t track my car,I’m a daily.I just got back from Mustangs at Daytona doing 120 on the speedway not knowing my rear tires were in this condition,now I know why I was having a hard time drivin in the rain,I started fishtailing had to slow down while everybody‘s flying by me.It is what it is,nothing I could do now but to get to a reputable alignment shop.

Depending on spring rates I’m guessing it handles really well with that alignment. Easy on tires and pretty neutral I’d imagine.

@Billy2015GT I didn’t see where you said how you’re using the car, but I’ll assume it’s a street/daily driver. If so, you don’t need/want the kind of extreme negative camber that @1995_4.6 and I are using. Make sure they get it in spec for camber and that the toe settings are within spec and even from side to side. And you do not want toe out, modest toe in will make it a very good street machine.
