Default still have camber after camber kit installed.

last week i installed my skunk2 pro series camber kit when i got done i notice my driver side still had the same amount of camber so i adjust it, i kept adjusting it til the camber kit was set to +4 (bottom tire popping out). i'm pretty sure i stalled it right. the left camber kit is on the left and the right camber kit in on the right. my drop is pretty low about a finger into my fender. i have a dc4 with 60 series tires( i know, HUGE!) on ls rims. and also my steering wheel is like off by 40 degrees to my right, and dont want to get an alignment until i get this problem solved.

unfortunately your problem will not be solved without getting an alignment.

When you lower a car the natural geometry is for the car to camber. With a camber kit you can fix this problem but not always 100% stright camber (depending on how low the car is). As for your steering wheel being off that can be fixed with alignment.

I also notice that your talking about the camber only on the drivers side of the car. hmm.... if the car is lowered and your suspension is perfect then both driver and passenger side should have about the same amount of camber. If only your drivers side has camber you have more problems then you think. I would suggest get it look at by a chassis shop.

if there is no place to do alignment, just raise your car back up.

My local firestone does camber kit adjustments and if your car is lowered, they gotta be able to get it up the rack or take off your front bumper.

Lift your car up just a little, I do think that is your problem.

go to alignment place after 2-3 weeks later if you just installed spring/coilover.
