Front Shock Issue
My front passenger shock is maxed out towards the fender which is around 2 degrees negative camber. I would like to get it closer to 1 degree. But can not push anymore towards fender to get to 1 degree. Any suggestions? Also my driver side is perfect. Also are the mono balls a rough ride compared to the factory bushing setup. Because at this point not sure how to get to zero or even 1 degree of negative camber. Don’t believe car was ever wrecked.

Do you really want positive camber?
Usually the target is close to zero camber or maybe a bit negative (angled in at the top of the strut) |

Still a bit confusing but if the car is lowered too much it might be too negative to compensate by moving the strut top.
Is there a possibility that a previous owner installed de-cambered ball joints too allow more negative camber? Yes the mono ball top mounts will add some harshness, but that may be your only solution. What size wheels/tires are you using, and what is the distance from the ground to the fender lip? |
Too much negative is not a problem for the stock setup. Sounds like either a PO installed de-cambered ball joints like Brian says (but that wouldn't explain the driver's side being okay), the car has been damaged, or the strut has been bent.

A bent strut is not uncommon. I was able to straighten mine with a hydraulic press.
|
Yep. There's a reason a lot of struts have gussets. On mine the spindles were loose on the struts and the struts were bent--I could never get my front camber right.
|
Might want to check if the car is level side-to-side. That directly affects camber. —Dave
