I’m sure you googled it, but camber relates to how flat the tires sit on the ground. Most cars have “negative camber” meaning the top of the rim (when mounted) is closer to the frame than the bottom. Idea being that if you turn a corner, the contact patch of the tire actually gets better or stays large to enhance grip. E.g. you aren’t up on your sidewall.

Positive camber is an issue and that means something is wrong with your alignment/suspension/strut tower.

When I used to track my e30 bmw I had more-less neutral camber in the rear and a few degrees positive up front - put as much power down as you can and this also allows you to pivot the car/mudulate the rear with power.

Then again, maybe you’re just driving it hard enough that you’d benefit from going down a little bit in sidewall thickness and up in width.

Volvo’s are underrated cars in terms of performance - you can make monster power out of those things on pump gas.

Yeah based on the techs' description and Google images mine would be negative camber. Apparrently it's not much and nothing that was observable to me recently putting my front wheels on ramps. Maybe having the car on a lift makes it easier to see.

I'm wondering if excessive or improper towing might be a factor here, as far as other alignment goes as well. Had my car towed three times recently and one time the tow guy didn't ask for the keys for dropoff at a midway point about 15 miles away from my house. I didn't have any way to get the keys to him and him coming to get the keys was out of the question - I even told him I could pay a little extra. He said he would spray the truck bed with WD40 and it would be fine.

These cars have very quick and powerful response on the accelerator - manual mode is the best!!
