Alright, this is sort of a repost but with more info...I went to get an alignment yesterday and the guy that did it couldnt get the caster and camber on the left front tire correct so he thought the frame was bent,which theres no way that could be. But anyways the camber was -2.3 and the caster was 2.6. The car has a camber kit on it and i have droped it 2 inches. Oh and it also has brand new tie rods. Anything i can do to get these numbers looking better? Please Help!

what plates do you have? 3 or 4 bolt? steeda, MM, griggs, or some off brand? and are you sure its the plates and not just the camber bolts?

if the caster and camber is off that much i'd be more willing to believe the shock rod is bent over the frame. check into the car and make sure everything it tight, and that the tie rod ends are not bent for some unknown reason. then take it to another shop.

There might be a chance that the stuff on that side wasn't installed properly. I had a guy bring his 94 mustang into work with the bullitt suspension installed. We couldn't get it to go any farter out with camber or caster on either side. One of the tech's took the top apart... moved i think the rubber boot down inside.. not sure. then put the top back on and was able to move it where it needed to go.

More info

Well i called the guy up today from the alinment place to talk to him again, the reason he could not adjust the camber is the plate hits the fender well on the drivers side. The plate is square but has a piece on the end that sticks out about a 1/4inch, which is what hits the fender well. Could i just hit that part of the fender well with a hammer and dent it in? I know i would get the camber all the way correct then.... Here a pic of it, BTW does the plate look installed correctly from as much as you can tell?
