Stock GT Performance Package camber???

[tomnelsonii]

Hello All,

Let me start off by saying, I don't know much about suspension, camber, toe, etc. I have a stock 2016 Mustang GT Performance package and I just replaced the rear tires. I installed stock front 9" rims with 275/40R19 tires on the rear of the car since I wanted a square setup. When I replace the fronts I'll go to a 275 as well.

Now for my question... I never really payed attention before installing the tires, but it seems like I have a little bit of negative camber both front and rear. I am just wondering if I need an alignment or if this is how these performance package cars are setup from the factory? Any input or advice would be super appreciated! I hate bringing my car to the dealership, it makes me cringe! Lol. I installed the wheels myself so the tire shop never saw my car to give me advice on whether or not I needed an alignment.

Thanks in advance guys!!!!

They are supposed to have some negative camber. So thats good yours looks like that.

Camber is adjustable by an alignment shop in the rear. The front isn’t even adjustable without aftermarket parts.

Stock alignment specs are pretty forgiving, so some cars will benifit a little from having the alignment dialed in by a professional shop, but your usual dealership wont dial it in to precise specs so if you did want aligned your best luck might be asking around to fine a quality place in your area. Alignments don’t stay put forever. Usually when you replace tires its a good time to also have your alignment checked, or sooner if you notice anything odd like abnormal tire wear, off center steering, or whatnot. Chances are your car is fine if its just a daily driver.

Where are those specs from? Rear camber at -1.5* +/- .75 is interesting.

I bought my car used and only put about 5k miles of driving on the factory Pirelli’s before they were shot. The inner edges were worn on all tires and it had 100% stock suspension. As stated earlier, your alignment is probably okay. Some tires just wear the inner edges more so than others. Rotations should help with the longevity depending on what alignment specs you’re running

You can find them in this thread also. I had removed the GT350 related items since they didn't pertain to me.
