CAMBER Out Of Spec & RIDE HEIGHTs FUBAR

944 TURBO w/158Kmis.

Front end camber is out of spec. Tires have worn very unevenly, causing a lot of noise and vibration. Today I replaced all four tires.

Data:

Camber is: 0.9o (left) and -0.9o (right), out of the -0.2o to +0.8o spec.

The ride heights to the lifting point bars are as follows:
Frt Rear
left side 4 1/2” 4 1/2”
rt side 4 15/16” 5 1/8”

Obviously the right side of the car is outside the ¼” margin Ringlee quotes. And the higher height on that side would directly cause negative camber.

Question is: what’s causing this? What is the fix?
