Default Camber problems

I've just had 2 new eagle f1's on the front with tracking and 4 wheel alignment.

Before having the tyres replaced the front left tyre was very bald on the outer rim, which caused me to change the tyres.

The steering was fine with no wandering, now I've had the tracking and alignment done, every time you put the steering wheel level, it wanders to the right slightly. I took it back straight away and they retested the tracking and said it was fine, the only problem was that the left front had 2.17 deg more negative camber, than the r/h/f.

I'm not a wiz at car mechanics but the camber difference would not cause the car to steer to the right would it.

Would there be anything else to check before I take it to Subaru to be checked over as its bloody annoying driving with the wheel slightly wonky.

It is very important for the alignment to be right, front/back/side to side etc.
The different negative camber you have will cause these kind of issues.
Before you take it to a Subaru dealer, see if there is a GOOD independant specialist close to you. They will do a better job.
South Wales is difficult enough but place a thread for such a specialist someone can recommend in your area on this Snet.
Good luck, 911

Have a word with SammyH. He's a moderator on here and is also from South Wales so i'm sure he can recommend a good place for 4 wheel alignment
