What could possibly cause my camber to so bad w/ my setup
quick references:
1. skunk2 adj-coilover f/r
2. tokico blue shockes f/r
3. Omni adj-kits camber
problem:
i've been using it for several yrs, but had two incident accidents due to balljoin of knuckles went lose on both sides (not at the same time), axles shaft got pull out. So im trying to fix by replacing the same model 92-95coupe's knuckles arms, and toe's arms, and lower control arm (LCA replaced only on driver side) and bought myself a camber-kits OMNI.
what i recently noticed is that...my driver's side camber is very nice..-,+ 1degree (approximately measured). But on my passenger side and with the help of skunk2 adj-coil, i litterally adj the sk2 coil very high (so it gives me a more positive camber) and using fullrange adj of Omni camber and still get a MISERABLY NEGATIVE CAMBER degree
One thing i didn't replace is the lower control arm of passenger side
What could possible cause my passenger's
camber to so bad with my setup

So you have positive camber on one side, and you're trying to get positive camber on the other side? I'm not even sure why you'd want to do this; do you realise Honda factory spec is for almost 1* neg camber on the front?
With positive camber, when you enter a corner, the only thing that will be contacting the road is the sholder and possibly sidewall of your tire. You need neg camber in order to get a good contact patch on the road.

no, no i wasn't trying to get my camber to positive side...but wat i really want is to get it less negative (example -5deg to -1degree). Like i said i have a good camber on the driver side...but i also a miserably bad negative camber on the passenger. I just want to reduced that MISERABLy negative to lesser negative.
Im fully understand how negative camber hepls out cornering and surface to surface contact.
again i just want to know the cause of my miserable negative camber on the passenger. Please ignore all the performance as well as other driving tech
thanx all

Something has to be bent. Either your suspension components, or the mounting points on the frame, or evern the frame itself.

Yeah, if something can't get adjusted to spec, there's something bent.

will you guys be more specific on location and components...Cause i replaced most of it...
about mounting points on the frame, where can it possibly be bent, lower control arm mounting?
