Wheel Camber advice for someone who knows little

[ktstocko]

Apologies if this is not the right place or way to go about this. First time post, I am a woman so need things explaining simply. I feel I am being fobbed off by my garage.

I had my wheels aligned (on my 2011 Mini Countryman All4) last august and received a print out of the data. The back passenger tyre/wheel was reading -2.22 degrees, toe -0.03 before any work was done. The 'after' reading taken once the alignment was done read Camber -2.57, toe +0.10.

The tyre on this wheel has just had to be replaced as the inside wear was beyond bare, despite having plenty of tread left on 80% of the rest of the tyre.

Q. Is this partly the garages fault for not sorting the camber issue out and actually making it worse than it was.
They are telling me the camber is not able to be adjusted?

Thank you.

Thank you both. It's even worse when they looked today -3.00. The garage who fitted my tyres sold me a alignment 'deal', to pay a one off fee and get 8 adjustments made over the two year period. But they only told me today they can't even adjust camber, only toe on my car. Is it me or does this seem like a rip off, they sold me a product I can only use part of, as I will have to take it elsewhere to get the camber sorted.

Thanks for all the replies . I've booked it into mini, they sounded quite alarmed when I told them the camber angle, but didn't say they can't fix it.
Still interested to hear if I'm being unreasonable asked for a refund on the alignment package I was sold if they can't even complete the job?

mon the fish said:

If it's not adjustable, something else is seriously wrong with the suspension to do that to a tyre. Or you spend all day driving over cushion speedbumps

I have to admit I have been know to hit those bumps a bit hard. It's like Roscoe P. Coltrane is after me and I think I'm in the 'General Lee'.
