Default Help Camber Question

Here is the situation, I have 17" rims(i know too big), 35 series tires, SRE camber kit, b18b, and eibach pro-kit. The problem is on the right side(front right) I think the previous owner had an accident on that side, I have a positive camber that i can not fix with the SRE camber kit. But the left side is fine. What I am looking for here are suggestions to fix it or what could be the actual problem. THanks.

Pay money to get the car aligned and checked out.

Ok I was dreading that, but I think that is what i am going to have to do. Does anyone know about how much that usually costs? And is there like a specific thing I should tell the shop when i take it in? THanks.

i have 17" rims 35 series tires eibach pro-kit plus some other things does your ride hurt your back cause mine shure does
i used to work at a body shop and i would say your frame might be bent i would have a shop put it on a frame rack and measure everything out if it is bent theres no way you will ever get an alignment
frame time is like 50-70 an hour and set up and measure pays 2 hours so like $100-$140 4 wheel alignent sould be like 50

My ride doesn't hurt my back, I ahve AGX's maybe that helps a little. So overall you're saying about 200 dollars to get my problem fixed right?

If it is just an alignment, you should be looking at between $50 and $100, depending on where you go. When I had to get one done, it cost me $75 or so, and that was at a local place.

And like williejohnson said, if it's the frame, then it will dramatically rise from the alignment price.

Also, I would think that if the camber on that side is too much to correct with a camber kit, that it would either be the frame or that maybe the car is lowered too much. But, I am assuming that you know better than to lower the car too much. So in short, I think it's the frame.
