Default what's wrong?

hello,

I've done this alignment in december, but today I was checking the settings and they were the same. when I installed the suspension I didn't have camber bolts so they have this values... is it ok or should I buy camber bolts and adjust them again? the top value in the box is left and the bottom is right.

It is strange to have so much neg camber in the rear and so little in the front, usually the other way round!

IMO:
You need 2 deg neg in the front too.
You also need a lot more caster, but will need ajustable top plares for that ie Noltec ones.

by this table, the front camber min and max is -0º55 and 0º05 and the rear camber min and max is -1º40 and -0º40. if I adjust the settings to the max the rear will always have more camber...

If my memory is correct:

Front:

toe = Zero
Neg camber = 2.5 deg
Caster is posative 7 deg (might be a little less)
Bump steer = Zero (without adjustment)

Rear:

Toe = Zero
Camber = 2 deg neg

All set to +/- 5 minutes.
