2012 F Sport rear camber specs
Just bought this and noticed, the day after I brought it home, that it has a pretty significant amount of negative camber in the rear, both sides. I took a level to it, not exactly an accurate alignment tool but enough to get an idea of what's going on. The driver's side is about 1.5" negative camber (bottom of wheel further out then the top) and the passenger side is about 1" negative camber. The fronts are have a little bit, but I suspect most of it, if not all of it, is due to my chosen very inaccurate measuring technique.
I'd love to find the specs for rear camber for the car. This seems beyond excessive. Bought from a dealer who is telling me it's fine (not that they've put it on a rack) and I want to give them something definitive so they correct this issue that they have said checks out fine.
They also have said that they inspected the cabin air filter and it was fine (it was full) and the wiper blades (fronts fine, rear is more of a nub then a blade). I don't mind fixing these things. I do mind being told things are fine when they're not.

Its really best to have it put in the alignment rack than just eyeballing it.
Get a print out and that will give you the current readings of your vehicle.
Manufacture specs will also be displayed.
And if its deemed off specs, they can get it aligned if they are adjustable.

You're fine. Most cars have negative rear camber dialed in to promote safe handling (understeer)
The CT200h is allowed to have up to -1.75 rear camber.
Non issue. Just enjoy the car.
