In Reply to: Car wheel alignment question: how much camber? posted by free.ranger on August 31, 2015 at 20:44:04:
If your tire are wearing on the outside edges, bringing the camber more positive and closer to zero would accentuate the problem if that were indeed the problem. That's assuming that the camber is set close to the -.5 and -1.5 settings now. BMW went even further negative to -.67 and -2.25 on the 05 X3. Cars are generally tolerant of camber with regard to tire wear.
I'd bet money you'll find too much toe-in as the culprit if they are wearing on the outside edges. I'd certainly try running the toe toward zero and then see how it handles. Wet or snowy roads would be where you would want to test drive it as that's where it would probably show any bad handling characteristics first that could be induced by varying the specs.
Un-calibrated equipment or technicians could certainly also be an issue. P.S. I installed and calibrated wheel alignment equipment for 30 years before retiring.
