The guy doing the alignment for me tole me today that i need to replace the rear camber kit and an adjustable control arm front in order to put my front right wheel and left back wheel into the position. they ask $590 for the parts, labor and alignment.

are these serious problem? could i get these parts at low cost somewhere?

Thank you!

 

Oh, forget to tell, it's a honda civic ex, 1999.

what brand is that? dont go too cheap...

 

This is all you need for the front and the rear.Its consists of a 2 new front upper control arms that allow the upper ball joint to slide to allow camber adjustment.And for the rear it consists of 2 rear camber adjusters.
This kit is all you need to correct camber issues.You can install it yourself.It is not very hard to do.Prolly take you around an 1hr at the most.

you guys are forgetting that shops are in it to make money.

i guessing that they are charging about 3 hours at somewhere around $90/hour
plus parts. which have a mark up.

id say that sounds about right for getting it done at a shop
