you should be concerned with that much camber (if its like -3 and more specifically) but even MORE concerned with how much toe in/out you have going on.
beyond -3 it will wear tires. but not as fast as it would with a bad toe setup
make sure your toe is ok
few ways to check (easiest and fastest first)
stand next to your car at rear fenders
lean over so your fender "covers" your tire (by vision and whre you are standing/leaning)
lean back to expose the tire, if the tire comes out 'equal' on both sides (front and back of tire), your toe is probably pretty much at 0 (zero)
if the front comes out faster (before you can see back of tire), you got toe out (bad)
if the back comes out faster (before you can see back of tire), you got toe in (bad)
harder/longer yet more accurate:
home made alignment
grab a friend to help
use a tape measure
start at front of tire,
hook the tape measure on one of the treads. have your friend hold the tape measure there.
now measure it to the other tire (push tape measure under car to reach other tire) at
same tread point and same height of the other wheel/tire
write that number down!!
do the same on the rear of that SAME rear tire (use same tread points as you did on front of the tires)
if both are similar
exampe: let's say (guessing on numbers-dont take for real) front distance is 159 cm and rear is 159 cm apart
your toe is exactly 0!
GOOD!!
if the front is 180 cm and the back is 170 cm, thats bad
or front is 170cm and back is 180 cm, that's bad!
you want the difference very minimal-next to nothing. use judgement and calculate how much toe in/out you have. i dont recall what 'within spec' is though...
btw, that's a great way to measure toe if you replace arms or tie rods.
get you on the street safely fr the time being until you can get it to the shop for alignment
hope that made sense!!!
