strut tower question?????

I had to get one of my strut tower bearing replaced awile back and ever since then the camber has been off. is there a certian way the the strut tower needs to be bolted in to get the right camber? The reason I ask is because of this tread(Unbolt the four upper bearing mounts from the strut tower. Before you drop the struts,make a mark on the strut tower which way the little arrow on the upper mount points . Be careful removing the last nut as the strut assembly will fall away and this sucker is HEAVY.)

Since the strut can be positioned one of 4 ways it does make a difference. If you put the arrow facing the back inside corner (towards the engine) that will be your maximum camber. My guess would be to set it the same as the other side, then get an alignment.

so it sound like the guy bolted it up wrong huh, this must be why my camber is negitive. the tire is leaning inward on the drivers side.

Yeah, just rotate it and that should correct it.
