Question Alignment problems... help needed asap

Reading through different threads I can't seem to get the answer I’m looking for

My specs are as follows 2006 coupe 19" sports everything stock

Left Front
Camber -1.1'
Caster 8.2'
Toe 0.30'

Right Front
Camber -1.3'
Caster 8.4'
Toe -0.13'

Cross camber 0.2'
Cross caster -0.2'
Total toe 0.17'

Left Rear
Camber -1.8'
Toe 0.17'

Right Rear
Camber -1.9'
Toe 0.12'
Total Toe 0.29'
Thrust Angle 0.02'

I put on rear PS2 hopping they will last me a while the guys at NTB told me I’m at 5/32 and tires soon be gone... that was like not even 8k ago when I put them on :| no burnouts etc due to being low on cash for new tires

They guy at NTB told me if he adjusts my Right Toe the Right Camber will be even more negative and out of spec is that true ? Also are the rear cambers adjustable? Overall I’m considering going to the dealership and trying to make a claim under warranty because of the front camber being out of spec, any help on this will be appreciated, thank you.

your camber is pretty close to spec, but your toe appears to be way out. as for your question, yes, adjusting camber will affect toe and vice versa. they should be able to get you in spec if you're completely stock, however, so take it back and see what they can do.

Click here for 2006 Coupe Alignment Specs

also, FYI, normal tread depth new is 10/32 to 12/32 so it looks like your tires are just over half way gone. you don't want to run them down to zero, however.

thank you, yeah i read those factory specs before i went in to get the alignment, there is no way to adjust front camber unless i have the kit which shouldn't be needed if the car is stock correct ?

Your car can have accelerated inner tire wear even if it is within alignment specs. There is an entire degree of range to be "within specs" which is equivalent to about an inch drop.

My sedan had stock suspension and was within specs, but wore down the inside of the tires while there was still plenty of tread in the middle and outside. I got front and rear camber kits because they are cheaper then tires, especially PS2s, in the long run.

PS2s are great tires but they are soft and will wear fast.

okay,,, went to firestone got the lifetime alg...
i provided my own specs for the alignment within factory specs
car is up
the guy asks me if that is what i really want i overlook at the comp and i see the RED area for my rear camber -1.3 i go over to take a look and sure enough his specs were for a sedan... didn't feel like arguing just pointed out settings are for a coupe (according to him both specs were the same... guess not upss ) and from there we got the following results

FR
Camber -1.1'
Caster 7.7'
Toe 0.06'

FL
Camber -1.3' Yeah little off but not adjustuble thx infiniti
Caster 7.2' not adjustuble... when toe moved so did caster
Toe 0.06'

Cross camber -0.3'
Cross caster -0.5'
Total toe 0.12'

RR
Camber -1.5' wanted -1.3' but couldnt go any lower
Toe 0.06' didnt go any lower wanted 0.04

RL
-1.2' Camber
Toe 0.05' same as RR

Total Toe 0.11'


whats the input on my rear camber ? should i get both wheels to be -1.5 or should i leave it as is ?

those specs are perfectly fine. You can leave the rear camber alone.
