Tracking/camber is out cos it's been lowered?

nope its standard ride height
its not the car in my sig
guess tracking n camber could be out

I noticed this on my car..... not lowered or anything....
Wouldnt've noticed had I not been changin my wheel.... Lucky I noticed...

Aparently a common problem so im told

I'd say tracking then rather than camber - is it harsh over bumps and potholes and the steering a bit lively?

Tracking then

Your wheels wil be either (looking from above)

Toe Out

\--------/

or

Toe In

/--------\

Either way screws the edges of the tyres

Ideally they should be Zero Toe like this

I--------I

BUT

I never can remember this right so this is just from memory

because front wheel drive cars tend to tuck the wheels like this

/------\ on acceleration

They give them a smidge of the opposite ie a bt of toe out

Rear wheel drive cars tend to splay the wheels like this

\-------/ on acceleration

so they give them a smidge of the opposite too ie a bit of toe in

Any way thats what I'd get checked
