Default Alignment specs

Just had front end alignment done after 2.5 AS level, the only thing they touched was the toe in. Does anyone know what the min spec is for camber? They left it at -.7 but I though I remember -.65 being the min.

It's -0.10 plus/minus 0.075

So yours is very slightly out. It's not going to wear tires at -0.70. I wouldn't worry about it personally. But if you want it perfect you would need a camber bolt kit. They don't come with adjustable bolts.

That's pretty much what I thought. I have been having difficulty finding a camber bolt kit for the '15's...

As I understand it, a negative camber would mean the top of the tire is leaning in towards the truck correct? I would think this would be putting more wear on the inside of the tire?

Right, the top of the tire leans in.

Any Ford dealer can get the bolts for a 15. The number in the service manual for the bolts is 3C333.

I don't think you will see any abnormal wear with what your camber is at. You don't start seeing problems until it's a degree or more out.

Ok, thanks for the info. I suppose 7 tenths of a degree isn't a heck of a lot lol. I might get the bolts anyway and have them tweak it in closer at my first tire rotation.
