Cool front wheel f**ked

its a 10th ae when i got it ,the front wheel was cambered in so much that the tire was acually rubbing on the bottom of the spring pirtch....ball joint was shot so i put a new one on but the camber is the same still....cant find a way to adjust it at all thinking that their the wrong shocks on it but the pass side is fine.. maybe somethings bent what you think

are the two bolts to the strut the proper size? it could have a cam bolt that loosened and allowd the wheel to fold under.

Have a close look at the strut. The lower mounts may be bent like this:

That'll cause the excess camber and the rubbing problem. If that is the case then the only real solution is to replace it.

try removing and rotating the top hat, remove the four bolts on top and rotate around, it might fix your camber problem
