Alignment question

Is there anyway to do vertical wheel aligning for the left front? Like adjusting the chamber or is there no such thing. I went to get my car aligned and the mechenic told me they either dont know or cant do vertical wheel alignment. Need a little help, thanks in advance. I do see the wheel leaning in towards the struts, not much but noticeable. Also with everything thing aligned except this issue car still pulls to the right. Im thinking strut could be bent but i cant tell or see anything. thanks

I don't think we can, not even the Z can. thats why there is an aftermarket arms for the Z so the can get to do it.

if your wheels are leaning in alittle, not noticeable, is ok. you get better turning with the wheels like that anyways. some say they wear uneven like that, but I've been dropped since june 2005 and my rims and factory wheels look worn even.

It is pulling to the right.. Have to hold the steering wheel a little turned, not too much. Like after id say abt 40 yards(could be less or more just estimating) it will start to pull. And yeah most likely it will wear uneven. I work at a wheel shop so costumers with these issue always come with uneven wear on tire. How do i tell if the strut is bent? As far as i can see it look pretty straight. Any ideas?

thanks

There is no camber adjustment but you can make adjustments. If the guy doesn't know what he is doing going someplace else. Just loosen the two bottom bolts on the strut and you have play, move to desired position and tighten.
