Would a bad camber kit cause your car to shake?
What if the bushings on your front or rear camber kit is worn out or torn, will this eventually cause your steering wheel to shake as well as have negative effects on steering and handling?

wont cause shaking, negative camber will cause negative effects on steering and handling if not set properly

No it would not unless it's really really bad.
I had a bad upper ball joint on my Sk2 UCA camber kit and roll with it till I was able to get a replacement which of cause is always on back order. Mine just make clicking noises when ever it hits a bump.
Shaking is mostly from bad balance, if your camber & toe is really bad then it will throw the balance off.
If your tie rod ends are bad then yes this will cause your car to shake.
If you have a cheap clutch kit or a cheap flywheel it will cause the car to shake. Most cheaper ones/no name are not balanced so it will give that drive line shake at a certain RPM and or while you press the pedal at a certain speed.
If your wheel lug nutz are loose your wheels will shake
If your aftermarket wheels are not hubcentric it will cause your car to shake as well.
that is all I can think of at the moment.

The rear camber arm usually does not Wear out.
The front camber arm, Assuming your talking about the top balljoint, When its worn acts just like a bad ball joint.
You will get excessive movement in the front wich will then give you shaking and youll feel the car is jumping when taking a harder turn.
And its dangerous also. See what brand of camber arm you have and buy a replacemnt balljoint.

Re: Would a bad camber kit cause your car to shake?
okay thanks.. Well im an idiot.. along time ago I "invested" in some cheap ebay rear camber kits.. the dam bushings on it blew out and its just wobbling there. Now that I have the stock ones, I try taking off the nut for the camber kit.. the stupid nut is stripped and now its stuck on the firewall..
The nut on the left is stuck on the firewall and every time I turn it to loosen, it will get tight then loose again.. any suggestions on how to remove it? cutting it with a dremel is my last option
