Camber issues after front end rebuild?

[vipz28]

I put new FE3 struts, poly strut mounts, and all new lower control arms on the car, and now suddenly it won't align!!

I'm stuck at +.7 degrees of POSITIVE camber on the left front, what the heck!? Did I do something wrong? Anyone else seen this issue?

I backed the adjuster all the way out and loosened the strut bolts and still that's all I got!

That's is strange. The only thing I can think is the top strut plate is aligned wrong or some how the strut you got is the wrong part some how. Let us know how it turns out.

Oddly enough, I've figured it out. The left front strut mount was apparently really bound up in the cup. I noticed it wasn't as "free" as the right side, so I lifted the left side, loosened the bolts up, and heard a pop as things moved around! Now I'm able to get to -.5 which is perfect for me!

Very weird as there wasn't a ride height difference or any noise when driving... but that seems to have resolved it.

Great, glad to hear it was something simple.
