    Any suggestions on cause of negative camber?

    Ok, I have been trying to figure out the cause for my negative camber issue.
    My car is lowered 1.5 inches with struts and springs.
    when 1st lowered it was-1.7 deg. even on left and right side.

    Now it is -2.5 deg on driver side/-2.0 deg on passenger side.
    Ideas??

    What Ive replaced:
    upper ball joints/control arms
    lower ball joints
    inner tie rod ends
    outer tie rod ends
    lower control arm bushings at chassis w/poly bushings
    drop zone struts and kcr springs when lowered(16,000 miles ago)

    Much thanks in advance

    That's normal with a drop, it increased over time because your springs settled lowering the car and increasing negative camber.

    Your upper control arm bushings may be worn out and contributing some but if you want it corrected you're going to have to get a camber kit.

    I run the spc upper adjustable ball joint and have had no problems with it with spirited driving over rough country roads, it's a great product. The best reputable price I've found is summitracing.com.

    I recommend you replace your upper control arm bushings or even better, every old bushing in your suspension. Energy suspension makes a good kit for the front, Prothane makes a great kit for the rear control arms.

      Yeah I figured it would be some of the cause. just thought it was weird that one wheel was a lot more than the other. I will go ahead and install those bushings too then.

      I bought some bushings in a kit that had the bushing for lca at chassis and for the uppers as well.
      got es bushings in swaybar endlinks too.

          seriousness that is maybe a very slight reason because I rarelt have a passenger with me.
