Ouch on the reference about kids. On the front I had a negative 1.1 on one wheel and 0.9 on the other. I am surprised that you say negative 3 is ok and you work at a Honda shop. In the shop manual, specs say plus or minus 1 for the front. I was starting to have tire wear on the inside, even though the toe was set within specifications. I could only imagine what 3 degrees would look like. Any car can handle any degree of toe, camber, caster; it is the wheels that suffer from the mis-alignment. Correct me if I am wrong, but power steering would be the only mechanical issue that would have any wear and tear. Another result of bad camber is a harder ride. Since I now have 0 degrees camber, I am using the entire tire surface which = a smoother ride.
