just wondering how much the driver side front camber would/should change when sitting in the car.

eg: -0.5degrees without sitting in drivers seat...what would this change to AFTER sitting in the car for an average sized person?

Cheers,
Sam

yep, to get totally accurate wheel alignment, driver in the car is a must............not necessary unless you're a serious racer but............or pedantic :mrgreen:

For me in the NC between 0.2 and 0.3 degrees more negative has to be placed on the drivers’ side. It will vary depending on your weight.

The best way is to have the aligner connect everything up to the front and rear wheels and then get in the car. Take a reading and then get out and take another reading. The difference is the required variation for the drivers side.

do you mean the extra weight gives more POSITIVE camber? i thought the extra weight adds more NEGATIVE camber?
