My rear camber is substantially worse than specs, and the wear shows it. I suspect that the excess rear camber, combined to the type of tires plus the typical rutted road surface here in Colorado result in darting/tramlining. I never had an issue in Arizona or Florida with perfectly smooth and flat pavement.
The 9-3 is a fairly narrow car, and it never settles in the wider ruts created by heavy trucks, pulling left or right. With winter tires 205-55 R16, the pulling is manageable but with sticky summer Nokian tires 215-45R17 OEM sized, I have a hard time keeping control of the car on some rutted highway here.
I suspect that the excess rear camber is causing it because it became a lot worse when I swapped my worn rear summer tires for identical brand new tires in the back.
