Not sure if anyone has seen this?

I wonder if we can use this to adjust camber as well?

Hope this helps

New news to me. I asked about camber adjustment possibilities for the Stinger a few weeks ago. I get outer edge premature wear on my tires; my tire and wheel guy said that even a half a degree of camber adjustment could make the difference in evening out tread wear.

Not sure why they went with caster before camber, very bizarre. But hey if you increase caster that does increase camber while turning for the outside wheel, it also increases weight of steering as well as increases the cars tendency to return the wheels to center.
 
My car was wrecked and my front left is about 1.5 degrees positive when spec is -1 or -0.5. I may take it to a frame shop and see what they can do.

When I spoke with the engineers at SuperPro about front camber solutions for the Stinger, they weren’t optimistic about the chances due to the very limited market. However, with increased caster comes the side effect of some additional camber imparted as the wheels are turned further from straight ahead. The difference was too small to solve my problem, but the ~0.25 degrees added at full lock might be useful to some. Plus the increased centering additional caster provides.

Just a thought.
 
^^^Appreciate the input. I've decided that unless or until a dedicated camber adjustment option arrives, I'm not going to try messing around with creative "solutions", in the hopes that I can get more edge life to the tread. I don't trust embarking on that quest, because likely as not I'd end up with some other issue like handling or steering changes: or more likely, some other area on the tread wearing prematurely: there is the risk also that the tire would suffer in structural ways if not rolling perfectly straight ahead. At least those are my thoughts at this point.
