Just got my alignment should I....

Worry about getting a camber kit up front? Here are the specs:

Left Front
Camber: -2.1
Toe: .03

Right Front
Camber: -1.5
Toe: .04

Also, my back toe is a little off one is .12 and one is .05, should I worry about this at all?

Thanks.

Was your car in an accident? If so, that might be the bias you may need to
track straight...but if not, you should at least consider getting the rear toe
fixed. it should be .12 degrees (and a tad more) on each side.

The front camber....nnnn.... borderline. I would probably get a camber kit
to at least get it close within 0.2 degrees.

Well the one that is .12 is on the side I hit a curb with. Other than that it's mainly NYC roads that I could think of that would cause any other inconsistencies.

The .12 degrees toe-in is actually good. the other side, 0.05degrees
it starting to point straight and will begin to introduce wandering over
larger bumps and dips.

Have you installed a different spring other than stock? Your camber is WAY off in the front and should be around -0.50. There should be no more than 0.25 degrees difference between left and right cambers. A camber kit is highly recommended.

Your toe-in isn't bad but could stand a improvement. Nissan recommends 0.20 degrees, as the best setting and with both sides matched as close as possible. Between 0.10 min to 0.20 max is a good reading.

What is your rear camber and toe-in?

0.12 and 0.05 I would never drive on that setting too long.

Hey ....... if your gonna quote me, at least show the complete sentence .........

On the serious side, I'm mathamatically working on what the perfect camber settings would be for my tires/rims, using factory specs as a guidleline. More to follow.
