Suspension question
So uhm alil background, my dad worked on cars, new tires made it pull to the right, he told me one day he did something to the front suspension that should make it pull to the left.
I think ive read about it before that you can adjust the camber alittle by turning the struts? He said something along the lines that if you turn it all the way around it'll point the tire inward a bit more.
I dunno guys he did alignments n such so I'm pretty sure he knew what it did, hes dead now, got new tires and it goes straight so good now!
So I'm wondering what he changed/if I should change it back, I know it slightly adjusts the camber, so if he set it the opposite of the left side shouldn't I change it back?
I don't know much bout suspension yet so I don't even know if he did change it and left it or just tried it like that and set it back

if it drives straight, why change it?
Uneven wear/air pressure in tires will make it pull to a side..
Caster can be adjusted if you have upper pillow ball mounts *typical of coilovers to have this*. Im not sure of the adjustments on a stock FC, usual cars today have adjustments by the bolt that holds the lower a-arm to the chassis.

the front tire started taking after the rear so my family bought some front tires so it doesnt blow after i leave.
jack, the car was professionally aligned more than once a year by my dad, I'm just curious of what he could of changed and if i should change it back, not like I can go ask his ashes what he did ~_~.
