Alignment analysis

I got my new Michelin MXV4's installed yesterday and also had an alignment done.

I have no issues with the way the car feels and performs right now.

The shop was able to adjust everything but the left rear camber. They stated an aftermarket kit would be needed. Is this the nature of the beast? A warranty issue? etc...

What adverse affects will I see? I never had any unusual wear patterns with stock tires.

Thanks!

Thats very strange, the only thing i could think of is a damaged piece in the rear suspension somewhere otherwise no real reason why the stock kit cant keep the car within specs....

You are not even dropped? That shop is lame. It is laughable how some shops have only one guy that is any good at alignments and the rest are useless and just know how to adjust front toe or adjust rear toe and don't do anything about the camber. Unless you know of a good shop, I say go to the dealer for alignments. This is my policy with my G and also my WRX--and it's based off experience and multiple badly worn tires!
