Camber Maxed out I know this a not a new question but i,m not sure where to look for the answer,my camber is maxed out on my lowered 2002 T/A,what are the fixes for this problem,any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks ahead of time.
........is it maxed out and still positive camber or are you just not getting the numbers that you want
Edit* - Just to make sure you know, maxing out your camber isn't necessarily a bad thing... It's not like maxing out your injectors or anything

OP, adjustable lower control arms or elongating the factory holes will allow better camber.

okay, it's negative... how negative is it? Performance cars should have some negative camber anyway. If it's street only then you clearly don't want too much, but you also do not need to be within the ridiculous stock specs either.

I have negative camber at least one degree or more,wore the inside of the tire anyway thats what they said when i had it aligned,looks like more to me especially on the passenger side,anyone know about how much to slot the factory holes for sure 5/16 seems like a lot,also do i just need to slot the cam bolt hole or are there others as well.....Thanks
That's not exactly specific. What are the specs? Toe will also wear the inside out quickly, as will worn bushings. Slow down and tell me what the alignment sheet said before you go cutting on stuff.

Ok i got under my car today and looked at the control arm slots,looks like i have plenty of room to move the arm enough for proper alignment,so no slotting needed,apparently ive been using a incompotent alignment shop,with that being said what should i have the alignment set to,my car is a daily driver,about fifty miles a day,i understand there is a better alignment than stock.....thanks

Camber......0*, both sides;
Caster......4.5-5* on the drivers side, and a touch more on the passenger side, to allow for "road crown";
Toe-in.....in digital-speak, .02-.03* per side. In mathematical numbers, about 1/16" total, 1/32" per side.
I'm glad you looked. And sorry to have been blunt about this, but it happens a LOT that alignment shops suck and/or people jump to conclusions.
I'd still run a little camber, -.5 for me. But the caster and toe leadfoot 4 stated are what I'd do.
