Alignment help

You camber is NOT causing any tire wear and are basically within the range most of us drive in. Your toe settings are within spec. He can adjust your toe even closer if he is good and minimize any wear even more. I would not adjust the front or back cradles. Moving those cradles around is not going to affect the camber or caster anyway, and it could cause steering direction problems. Then, the toe adjustments could be a big PIA, because you would need to check your alignment front/rear for a four wheel directional check.
 
I dunno what Gatzby is talking about.. if it were mine (doing mine Friday) and those were the numbers I got I would slide the front cradle over to the left (drivers side). That will stand up the right front while laying down the left front. I would try to get the right front closer to 1.5° and see where camber for the left and caster for both ends up with it like that. You shouldn’t have to buy anything but keep in mind that notoriously these cars are not easy on tires. If one of the front is gonna end up w more camber (street car) have it be the left front (more right turns)
What does that mean? You don’t recognize the terms Toe, Caster or Camber? His camber settings are not alarming at all. Plus camber don’t wear rubber, toe does. His toe is not bad and could be better.

You guys start moving the front around and you will be sorry. This vehicle is not very far off if at all. Besides tell me how to shift the structure or anything left and right, front and back and affect camber. Toe is adjustable front and rear, without shifting anything around and that is all this man needs, not more internet experts
 
Not gonna argue. There’s prolly 20 guys here who want to and will though lol. Where is the rear toe adjustment??? Got pics?
Hex Head Bolt And Washer - Mopar (6507538AA)

That fits; Toe Link, Right - Mopar (68051638AB) or Toe Link, Left - Mopar (68051639AB)



When adjusting rear toe, the eccentric lobes on the toe adjustment cam bolts and washers are not to be facing downward. The lobes should only be facing upward, or up to 90° to one side or the other from the 12 O'clock position.

1. Loosen the cam bolt nut securing the toe link to the rear crossmember (front of rear crossmember) just enough to rotate the cam bolt.

2. Rotate the cam bolt head on the opposite side (rear) of the crossmember in either direction until the preferred specification is obtained.

3. While holding the cam bolt from turning, tighten the cam bolt nut to torque spec (80 ft. lbs.)

4. Adjust rear toe on opposite side of vehicle using the above procedure.


Once rear toe is set, set the vehicle's front toe.
 
That is so weird I coulda swore my 2016 just had straight bolts. Good to know thx
It is so strange. I am pretty sure it is adjustable. But Mopar could be saving a buck and eliminating them?


based on my current alignment before adjustment do you think I need to buy some parts to do this alignment? Do the instructions above apply to my current situation?
We don’t know. BUT, one of those alignment guys should be able to tell you that in minutes (if you have the eccentric bolt in the rear).

Someone screwed around with your front? It was more than reasonable before, it sucks now. They got the toe way out now, and somehow managed to change the right camber to much more tilted negative. The rear seems fine. I’m out, dude.

I already told ya what I would do…

slide cradle to the left

That rear toe is screwed up now also. Have fun!
