Default No adjustment for alignment

I got some new wheels and tires 17x9 +38 255/40 all around


When they tried to do the alignment the LR they could not get any more camber ou of I than +.3 and he RR no less tHan -3

He front caster would only get to about 3.5 and front camber would only get to -1.2 on each side

Has anyone else had this problem

I'm on koni yellows with ground control

Is it as simple as getting a camber kit?

I just don't under stnd why the LR and RR and so far off, I would understand if they both wouldn't get more camber that .5 or both no less than-3.

If it's just a camber kit issue anyone have a suggestion on a reasonably priced kit

its been covered 100000 times.. either bushings are seized or subframes need to be shifted. A decent alignment tech should be able to tell you whats wrong.

Well I changed out the lower control arms so I know the bushings are not seized. I asked the tech that did the alignment if he thought the subframe could be bent, he said everything looked okay and there was no evidence to suggest it....so its not as simple as purchasing a camber kit?

Check as in how? It's the rear camber that is off.. When it was aligned I was able to get front camber to like 1.5 caster is not as much angle as it should be but it's even

the front and rear subframe. look for the thread that RobRobinette posted up here. there are alignment holes you can use as reference. Front caster should be easily set for more. you mentioned 3.5 for caster in your OP. -1.5 for camber in the front is good, should be able to get more camber but thats preference.
