I get the same results I think it has to do with where you are measuring camber. On the outside of the tire with a camber gauge or on the inside at the hub with the station. Plus factoring droop (now that the blocks are gone), a little wiggle room in the wheel bearings and the differences in tire manufacture you can be off a degree or more so I stick with one method for consistency. Either/or not both.
