you have negative camber on just the passenger side front

well if you lowered the car or anything recently that would do it for sure

in the front there i beleive the only adjustabe way of adjusting camber would be pillow ball

is there visible camber on the tires?

i'm sorry i didn't mention that i have stock suspension on my car. i'm getting suspension for it but i've had friends tell me that even when i do get my suspention kit, it will still be negative beause of the fender where the strut connects is just worn down over time and that i needed to cut and weld and do all that but it look perfectly fine to me? if i gotta do all that then i will i just want an opinion from someone that actually owns or has owned a 240 not to hear it from my friends that never owned a 240 lol....

i had this same problem, but with the drivers side. when my aligment guy told me i had a bent front LCA it all made sense. he aligned it, but the camber plate is all the way maxed out, & he said that im lucky cuz its only .1 off with the plate like that. to fix it, buy a new set from FRsports.com for 110bux, & while your there, buy some ES poly bushings for em too (20bux). im all about upgrading instead of replacing.

haha either he means camber plage or lower control arm, not quite sure

i dont quite understand your friends reasoning about the negative camber

this is what i did

adjustable: rear upper control arms, rear traction, rear toe, front tension, and tie rod ends

you can slam your car as much as you like and your suspension is fully, camber, caster, and toe adjustable

the only reason negative camber happens is all the suspension arms are the same length and set up for stock, lowering it pulls it in more so you get negative camber, replace all that with adjustable ones and your alignment tech can give you zero or whatever neg camber you want

if you read at the top of my post. i said that your neg. camber is due to a bent front LCA or LOWER CONTROL ARM. FRsports.com sells a pair of em brand new for 110bux, & buy the energy suspension poly urethane bushings from em while your there. buy em now!
