So first of all, in the last week I've had to replace the lower control arm, hub, and bearing on my front-driver tire. The car is a 2003 Mazda Protege5. The cause was a few bad potholes I think.
However, after the alignment was done, the camber on that same tire could not be brought back into spec. The FSM has camber limits of +/- .48 degrees. Right now, the tire is sitting at +1.6 and thats the best they could do. The shop was not a full fledged frame shop. They also said nothing looked bent to the human eye to be affecting it more.
They did reccomend a frame shop that might be better able to tell if somethings out.
I was just wondering how worried should I be about that camber measurement for now? Would being off by +.11 degrees be too much stress on the whole suspension/drive axle component?
Thank you.
