After installing some NF210 springs and only dropping 1 inch in the rear I went to get an alignment and the guy said -1.7 camber on the back left is the best he can do. Does that sound correct? Is my Cam bolt wore out?
The car only has 50k miles....
Reason I ask is I see guys here with coilovers dropping crazy low and they are getting within spec.
thanks in advance

what was it before? some cars are sometimes out one side more than the other. is the fuel tank that side maybe causing issues?

as for cam bolt worn out, i dont think it can be because i had a look at mine when putting my coilovers in (and out and in and out haha) and the bolt isnt a full round threaded bolt it actually has 2 grooves on opposite sides of the bolt and a non threaded section. so it sortof feeds through and then locks in and the camber indicator washer slides onto these grooves. So really it can't 'wear out' unless the threads are busted up so bad that the nut wont go on to tighten it!

maybe some bushes or something else that side is worn out?

with only an inch spec, there should be no problem to get the alignment adjusted within spec.

i'd try another alignment place.

If your bushings are in good shape, there is no reason for you to be near 2 degrees in the rear. I am at 1 degree (+/-0.1) in the rear with a 1" drop. My rear tires look as good as they did over a year ago.

my rear is at -2.1 on flex's lowered at least 3-3.5in. with the cam bolt as far as possible so i think you may have a problem or a rookie aligner..
