alignment done, camber question
so i had new tires put on today, so I went ahead and did an alignment as well. on the driver front camber is 5degrees, on the passenger front camber is 3.5 degrees. The guy at the alignment shop said something is bent as they could not correct it on the passenger side. what do you think?

factory spec is +0.40* not negative.
if he can't get the caster up any further, look at the control arm bushings. the rear one is most common for going bad.
for you to have a caster of 5* on the left and 3.5* on the right, the car must be pulling really hard to the right. if not, then maybe his machine is out of calibration.

It is pulling to the right, not really hard but it is pulling to the right. I will look to see if there's any adjustment and check the bushings.
I have a few problems with my car as of late, if my other problems are related to sticky calipers, I will upgrade to LS1 front brakes. i've wanted to do it for a while and might as well do it if I have to replace these things. that way I can get the calipers, steering knuckle and bushings changed out all at once.
