Just a question for those with an AWD lowered. What sort of camber do you guys have on the rear??

I don't know what how much camber the AWD ran with stock suspension, I haven't kept any wheel alignment sheets from previous alignments. With my latest alignment I have -1.33 degrees on the left rear and -0.72 on the right, with 18 inch wheels and 235/40/18 tyres.

I remember reading somewhere were Madmagna made mention that if the lower control arms aren't reset?, it can or will cause problems on the rear with alignment and tyre wear.

I'm on Kings lows and have -1.22 on the left & - 1.23 right. I'm not sure what it should be, but the tyres are wearing evenly.

You can correct, even them up with the appropriate type longer bolts and washers....there's a thread or post on it somewhere!

Yes, I've linked it a few times, but it's not showing up in any searches I do!

It's a whiteline kit, showing what is needed to do it yourself.

Workshop manual lists the camber spec for the suspension height used by the AWD as -0.83 degrees +- 0.5 degrees. So even on lows, you're still within the nominal spec.

Just had new tyres put on and a 4 wheel alignment done and i've got kings lows.
My results were:
Rear left: -1.65
Rear right: -1.55

And my last set i took off wore absolutely 100% perfectly at those settings. got 60,000 out of a set of tyres which is great for an AWD.

Just added that I am running 18 inch wheels in the original thread. I am worried about tyre wear that is all.

Thanks guys so it seems that I may be alright.

Not an AWD driver, but I did my wheels today, Lovell's Superlows.

My rear cambers at 2 degrees...
