Default Skunk2 Camber kit isnt doing its job!

I just finished installing my front camber kit and I adjusted the ball joint all the way out on both sides. And now the car has straightned out but its still not straight. I noticed the diference right away but its still a little messed up. Has this ever happened to anyone? What did you do? Does anyone know why this could be happening? Any help appreciated....Thanks.

I had this same problem when I first installed mine. My situation was fixed by just raising the car back up and sliding the balljoint all the way out again. What had happened was when I lowered the car down, the baljoint moved. Just raise it back up, slide it all the way out, and tighten it down tightly. Also, my steering wheel was crooked once I lowered my car. This was fixed 2 days later when some DICKWEED in a lincoln towncar pulled out in front of me. The shop had to send the car for an alignment and that took care of the steering wheel. Hope this helps.
