Camber Adjustment 1995

I took my car for an alignment, and they told me they could not adjust the camber which wasn't that far out of spec, but when I pay for something I want it done.

Does anyone know if this is adjustable? Per my Haynes manual, it says that all is adjustable.

Thanks in advance..

Fully adjustable, using the two bolts that hold the lower A-arm on. I've had mine done to specs much more extreme than the factory settings, with no problem.

If I had to take a guess, I figure the shop that looked at your car saw the coil-over springshock assemblies, and assumed you had a McPherson strut type suspension, like the 3rd Gen F-bodys. They were not adjustable. But the 4th Gens are.

Wrong forum.... I'll move this to "Suspension......" for you.

Re: Camber Adjustment 1995

Thanks for the quick reply, that is what I figured. I took the paperwork back to them today, and they tried to tell me they would have to drill out the strut mount to adjust it.

I told them, it has shocks, not struts, and he looked at me weird. Mind you this is after showing them the paperwork that showed the camber was at -0.3 which is .2 out of spec on the low end. He said they fixed the other sides toe, which was .12, and they adjusted it to .04. Then he went on to say how .2 really isn't nothing, because they adjusted the toe .08. I was like, you need a math lesson.

Will take it back tomorrow, thanks!
