Dean,

Are you still in Canada? It was pretty freakin cold here in MI today... So cold infact that my SID display had an unusually long delay updating info. (Changed stations and there was over a second long delay for the display to update...) OK on to your question...

If the camber is not equal on both wheels, a steer torque will be induced. How much camber can differ from side to side depends on a few things. One of course is the driver. I don't tolerate much pull but others feel my car tracks acceptably well. Another big facot is the vehicle. Some are hyper sensative, others aren't. Unfortunately I can not give you a hard number as to what a chassis can tolerate. It just depends on too many things. It should not be much though. I seem to remember about 0.5 degree for cross car and 0.7 from absolute as GM numbers but don't quote me. Personally those numbers sound a little lousy to me... On the few cars I have aligned myself I made every attempt to be as precise as possible. Every car's sensitivity to cross car camber is different...

If the camber is off, it should be adjusted. I do not know Saab's procedure, but I have seen some vehicles with "unadjustable" camber adjusted. The mechanic enlongated upper strut mount holes to achieve adjustability. In theory that should work... I make no claim that this is or isn't a GM or Saab authorized procedure. I have seen it done, that is all. If you decide to go this route make sure the mechanic is familiar with this procedure first.
