The first challenge is to find an alignment shop that has real technicians and not trained tire monkeys...!! The next hurdle is to pay no attention to the Hunter alignment machine built in specs that state that rear camber is not adjustable..! The next stumbling block is to see if the technician even knows Saabs and knows about the rear shims that can be inserted or removed to adjust the camber, plus how to adjust the rear toe-in as well...!! The last choice is up to you.. Follow the Saab manufacturer specs for a few degrees of negative camber (tires lean in at the top) and maybe have noisy Flintstone wheels with flat spots along the inner edges or.. go for straight up zero camber and get more miles out of a set of tires. If you drive your 9-5 like a race Porsche or BMW (follow one of these and notice the negative camber) then maybe you don't care about frequently buying new tires. Anyway, I'm headed for zero camber with my next set of rear tires.
