has to be wrong struts. If it's not terrible, then you can use camber bolts...but this sounds ****ed up lol.
I was lowered at least 2" and camber bolts off ebay worked just dandy.

Okay ill be getting new ones then thanks. Any opinions on which struts i should get? And also I went to replace inner tie rods and theres a small clip on the end closest to the rack and pinion. I couldn't get that bolt loose wondering if that clip comes off some way specific. Thanks man. My number is 260-343-1682 if texting is quicker

I called and it the part number is the right strut. I even check if I fit it on right. Lower control arms look good too. Look the same as old struts too. Camber is still too positive

I bought everything from detriot axle. I put the old struts back on even though they're needing replaced and the camber issue was solved. I'm returning the struts. Any suggestions on some good struts?

I'm running KYB struts with Tein springs, 2.2" drop front and 1.6" rear with no issues. the only time I ever had camber issues is when I had a bad strut mount on the passenger side front . I've had this car lowered since I got it and never needed camber correction bolts. it was lowered for the first 10 years with Megan Racing springs before I decided to go lower and switched to Tein this past November. still no camber issues.
