Default Camber and caster KIT ??????

So I was driving in really bad weather and hyrdaplained and lost control into a curb OUCH !!!!! I managed to just hit the front passenger tire into the curb and it really threw my alignment off bad but didnt have body damage or major wheel damage just major curb rash my tire didnt even blow out either??? So I went to wheel works and they realigned my car but they said that it was not perfect it still has a little bit of pull to the right but not much, there was no frame damage or suspension damage either the guy said that I need a camber and caster KIT ??? to do some more Fine adjustements when I bring it back in 2 weeks so where can I find a KIT for my 02 SS Camaro ? Please Help all info is appreciated thanks and Merry Xmas fellas......BB

same thing happend to me in July 07. I spun out in the rain did a 360 and a half and hit and jumped over this curb. No body or frame damage. I blew out my front passenger tire and dented my rim. My aligment was F'd up I had to replace my front passenger side LCA and sterring knuckle and get my K-member replaced because it was bent. I bought a aftermarket K-member and a LCA and sterring knuckle off another F-body. Got everything swapped and aligned. It drives noraml now, it pulls to right just a tad.

I am not trying to doubt your shop, but I would say they probably didn't inspect enough or were not 100% familiar with these cars. I would have to agree with the others, that there is something damaged in your suspension.

Yeah there are no camber kits for 4th gen f-bodies. There HAS to be something either broken or bent.

i agree, i think you should replace the LCA since the bottom half of your wheel hit the curb
