Had a Tracker alignment done today . Rear NS is -1.56 . which the guy said is not a Major issue .BUT they cannot adjust the camber ??
How can i get this better ? is it possible to use shims etc

Personally I'd be more interested in why it's out, and the fix the cause, rather than how to adjust it out. Example causes may be shot bushes?

If there is no apparent cause then I'd be tempted to get a second opinion, checked somewhere else, just to confirm it's been done right.

Where did you have it checked?

Hendon Tyres. Been good over the years . I knew it was out as the tyre had excess wear on the inside

Just been checking my own printout from last year; my rear cambers were -0.30 mins left and -0.25 mins right, stated as within target, listed as +/- 1.00.

Two schools of thought really, one says 1.56 is only just beyond tolerance, if the tolerance is 1.00 The other school of thought is that it's wearing unevenly and so worth fixing.

Did they adjust anything else that might (fingers crossed) sort out the uneven wear?

For mine, the problem being a pull to left, it turned out that although everything was well within tolerance, the front left camber was positive and front left was negative. Adjusting the left to match the right magically resolved the steering pull, and also (unexpectedly!) silenced a bearing-like whine that had annoyed me ever since I bought the car!

They did not try anything as the system was not instructing them.
He mentioned that shims can be used etc .But to ask around and see what people say etc
