Default Camber question ?

Would i need to get the car aligned again if i dial in say .5-1' ( degree ) of negative camber in the rear ?
Thanks

Hey;

I have done one 964 alignment, but cannot truly picture the layout in my head. While I know that the camber and toe adjustments are gained from seperate locations, I cannot say definitively that they are wholy discrete. My sense is that they probably are not.

One thing that I CAN tell you for sure is that you DO NOT want to have incorrect rear toe.

Pretty car. Best have it done.

Camber on the back of a 964 is a compound adjustment so yes you need to realign. Same in front. The only thing you can change without a realignment is front toe.

I forgot to mention it's a 964 Turbo if that makes any difference ? Btw what about the corner balancing,would i need to get that done too when i get the car re-aligned ?
Thanks fellas for your time and help.

Naaaah;

If the car is stock, straight, and true (which it appears to be), I'd not be too concerned with it. Only when you sharpen a car up substantially, or ask substantial things of it, does corner balancing potentially pay off at all.

I always figured that if my 944 felt as good as it did stock, and was within... say 50lbs, what did it truly matter if I got to under a 10lb discrepancy? Oh, I still set it there anyway, but I'm not sure it matters as much as folks think... on our big heavy cars anyway.
