Default camber issue

still having probs. i took my car to the shop. a midus shop.

my problem is the front left tire has a positive camber. the top of the wheel is leaning outward and rubbing the tread away fairly quick.

she midus shop adjusted the camber as much as possible. i got under the car and look and they got the bolts pushed as far to the outside as possible.

he said the spindle/ knuckle was bent and needed to be replaced and that then he could fix it completely. but wanted to charge me 125 bucks for a "used" knuckle.


is their an after market camber kit or anything of the such that would allow me to adjust it further? i probly need another inch of negative camber to put my tire back close to spec camber.

ill take some pictures tommorow and let yall see if anything looks different form your cars.

Go price a new knuckle ... only recourse is to replace the knuckle.

At some point in time, someone nailed a curb or pot hole.

The guys at midas don't know where to get a new one? Get them direct from GM. I think you can get them new in the ~150-175 range online, but that's probably without shipping. Don't know the part # off-hand, but you could probably find the # somewhere in these forums.
