camber adjusting

Have you had an alienment shop look at it? If so what were the camber readings?

Is the car lowered? If it has been lowered more than about an 1 1/2", you will probably need caster camber plates.

You have too much negative camber. You should be able to drill out the rivots and set less negative camber. Pulling the C/C plate farther to the outside of the car should accomplish this. Just be sure that who ever does this doesn't jack your stuff up like this poor guys plates (these are not mine).



You should be able to do this without the need for aftermarket C/C plates.

Or should I just loosen the nuts a bit and knock it over.

Yes, that is what I would do. Drill out the rivots with the smallest bit that will do the job so you don't have any problems like that picture above. As you can see there are three "conjoined" holes both in the plates and in the strut tower. You should be able to move the plates "one notch" toward the outside of the car and then the alignment shop should be able to get everything set right. Just be sure to not jack your caster setting by pushing the plates forward (toward front of car) or backward (toward back of car) with respect to their alignment. This is really an easy task if you understand what you are doing.

Referring to this diagram. The plates would be moved in the opposite direction of the arrows to acheive the correct camber for the wheels/tires (the arrows refer to the wheels and not the plates). Hope I didn't confuse you...
