The only thing adjustable is toe.


Read this about camber

My comment on this is mainly a reiteration of what this link says... whether you need a camber kit or not is debatable. I personally experienced pretty crappy camber wear so I bought a camber kit and fixed the problem. Others have ran a lot of negative camber with no problems.

Well I just said that the stock control arms are not adjustable, so does that not answer your question? They can't adjust camber because the control arms do not have a way to be adjusted. The only solution is a camber kit (a camber kit is just a set of new upper control arms that have adjustability). Whether you actually need to correct the negative camber is debatable.

I'm not trying to hate on you, it's just that you don't seem to listen the first time I answer the question.

I understand, and I don't mind helping.

It was just odd that you could derive from my post that since they aren't adjustable, they can't be adjusted (which is what an alignment is, an adjustment of the suspension parts).

Don't worry about it man, keep asking questions... don't let that discourage you. If I don't go into enough detail in an answer in the future, let me know.
