Default camber question

Can I use "Ingalls front adjustable camber kit, part number 3572. Allows +1.25 to +3 degree adjustment" To fix a -1 degree camber on my right front? Or do I need the other one that fixes -3/4 degrees to +1 degree pn#3570?

#'s for my front camber are: (left) -27/32 degrees and (right) 17/32 degrees.

Either one will work. To get rid of one degree of negative camber, you need to add one degree of positive camber.

However those numbers are still within factory spec so you don't really need to do anything.

From what the mechanic told me when he did my alignment, the right side is off 1 degree empty and 2 degrees when i hop in. My tires show obvious camber wear. How long and to what extent will my tires wear out? I drive my car everyday about 2 ten minute rides. Average about 1000 miles a month.

How long your tires will last depends on what kind of tires they are and how often you rotate them. It'd be a good idea to rotate them now if you're already seeing some uneven wear from the camber.

that "camber wear" from your tires can also be from a bad toe alignment. what are your numbers for those?

my toe is fine, it's 0, 0 now, and wasn't too off before alignment.
