post a pic, im 99% sure its camber, and you have just wasted money on parts that arent needed.
take the car in for an alignment, they will be able to help you out more.

its is the back tires just to clarify ..........its only angled about 1/8 inch by measuring the out side of the tire at the ground.....i was thinking about putting washers behind the bolts to get it back to normal ,...is this a bad idea? or think it would work?

Just the back? We need to know if they car is lowerd or not.

You should only put 2 washers on stock bolts, anymore you should get longer bolts.

That isnt rude, trust me.

Look at the springs, are the cut, colors anything, generaly if it was lowerd it would have camber on all 4.
