Default Passenger side camber

I dunno why but I have more negative camber on my passenger side front than on my driver side front. I don't know how much, but it has to be at least 2 degrees more. It's pretty noticeable. I haven't hit any curbs recently or really even messed with it all that much. Nothing looks bent and my coilovers seem fine. I did notice that two of the allens bolts on my camber plate were a little loose, but even then, my camber on the plates is set at full negative camber(I never messed with the camber plates, I just left them how they were when I bought them). Both camber plates are even with each other. I think I've heard this mentioned before, but never heard of a cause or solution. I searched google and zilvia and found only one thread about it, but the person only mentioned the problem, but never asked questions or stated a cause. Does anyone know what it could be? If anything I could just pull out some of the camber from the passenger camber plate, but I'd rather find out if something's seriously messed up. Thanks for any help.

Are they set at the same position at the knuckle?

Do you mean the oval'd part of the top hole on the lower mount?

Yes, that also is adjustable.

That's what was up with mine. I moved the bolt to full negative camber instead of trying to zero it out. Get an alignment once you set it and everything should be perfect.

^ has the right idea
set knuckle full negative, fix with camber plates. Mine is set full positive at knuckle full negative at plates, for wheel clearance.

loosen the two bolts holding your coil to the front knuckle and pull the knuckle out and tighten the two bolts, should see some positive camber increase by doing this

my lag is your courtesy head start


ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!
