driver front camber . . . . passenger front
+ .30 degrees . . . . . . . - .30 degrees

L back . . . . . . . . . . . . . R back
- 1.04 degrees . . . . . . - 1.49 degrees

I'm surprised the camber is not that much in the back but still want to reduce it as most of my driving is straight and not around curves. The exception is a couple of 90 degree curves going down a 7 percent grade, that I usually go around in 4th gear. I hope to check toe in the next couple of days.
Just looking at those readings makes me think the driveway wasn't level. You need to be careful here.
