Default Camber

MY Contemporary was supposedly set up by the former owner with a load of Negative camber. Since I set the camber myself I can only tell you that my front wheels leaned in at the top almost an inch and a half. Needless to say the front tires lasted all of 3000 miles. After a few phone calls to figure out the logistics of changing it ( Don Borders @ Image ) we put 1/8 inch shims behind the upper control arms and now I have just about 1/2 inch .. THe car tracks on the Highway
like it's on rails compared to before. At my normal highway speeds it was really tricky before, but now it's a whole new car... 100 mph plus was very scary, but now it tracks straight and has no twitch whatsoever...
