Boxster toe way out at max adjustment

Front camber is way out, there’s a big difference between left and right. Without knowing Boxster specs I can’t help with telling you what they should be.

As others have said, the operator of the alignment equip should know.

What implications does it have running the car with the current camber, handling / wear etc??

[helix402]

I don’t think the front camber will cause any excessive wear however it may cause the car to pull to one side. The toe will also be out despite the readings, as camber effects toe.

When the camber is set correctly the front toe will need adjusting again. If moving the struts in the slotted holes doesn’t allow enough movement to set the front camber correctly other options are available. I’m no Boxster expert but usual options are adjustable top mounts or bolts from the strut to the hub that allow adjustment.

An update

Took the car back to have the tracking sorted today after fitting the new adjustable control arms on the rears and freeing of the front track rods.

All done at last!!

Ok Rears:

NSR: Camber -1.47 Toe 0.04

OSR: Camber -1.37 Toe 0.05



Fronts:

NSF: Camber -1.00 Toe 0.04

OSF: Camber -0.32 Toe 0.03



Does this all look good and fall within normal parameters??

You'd normally run with more negative front camber than rear. It is not uncommon to run with 1:30 and 1:00

Front 0:06 total toe in
Rear 0:12 total toe out

Check caster, just ensure L/R values are close

Also ensure alignment is done on a calibrated table as many are not level, and that they really do set steering straight and lock it.
