Suspension Gurus please advise
Took the car down to the local alignment shop......
Advised to me that the camber on the left front is -2.6 and -2.7 on the right. The tech said the computer shows there should be about -0.8 camber and he could not adjust the camber back to this spec.
Can this be adjusted or is something broken or need to be replaced?
Here are the current specs:
Left Front - Camber = -2.6, Caster = 2.5, Toe = -0.05
Right Front - Camber = -2.7, Caster = 3.4, Toe = -0.08
Total Toe = -0.13
Steer Ahead = 0.02
Left Rear - Camber = -0.7, Toe = -0.40
Right Rear - Camber = -0.6, Toe = -0.04
Total Toe = -0.43
Thrust Angle = -0.18
This is a street car so what should the numbers be?

It is going to eat up the inside edge of tires is what it means. Is your car lowered?
You also needed to have the rear toe adjusted.

I should have been more specific.
What I am wondering is if the large negative camber means something may be broken. Or is it possible the PO intended this much camber? Should a shop be able to put the camber back to "street" spec?

Yes, it is possible that they wanted that much, makes for a nice semi track setup. The struts have eccentric bolts for adjusting it, it should be able to be adjusted.
