installed camber kit front causing a pull
i bought a front and rear combo camber kit off ebay for my car. i set up the front and rear with the front having -0.3 degrees of camber and the rear with -0.8 degrees of camber.
initially the specs were RF -1.5 LF -0.5 RR -2.2 LR -2.3. with caster being L2.4 R2.1.
the car was pulling right so when i installed the camber kit i made the necessary adjustments to correct the camber and then upon driving the car it seemed to pull more. so then i took out the cam bolts from the front after doing probably 5 alignments and a tire rotation. and now the car drives straight
the kit came with 4 cam bolts for the front but i only installed one on each side on the top hole.
am i doing something wrong or is there someone that can help me figure out whats up. i just dont understand

if the alignments are set correctly on each side, you shouldn't have a pull. Check your lower control arm bushings and rubber parts on the suspension. If those are worn, they might cause directional pull. BTW why did you set the front to have less camber than the rear? It should be the other way around....unless your'e not doing it for better handling but looks.
well im just going by the preferred settings in the alignment software here at work the preferred is 0 camber in front and -0.8 in the rear. toe is is 0 in front and 0.05 in the rear.
well anyways i was looking at my front springs and on the right side it seems to be sagging a lil bit compared to the spring on the left side would that cause the car to pull. i mean im sure thats why it has more negative camber on the right than the left.

it should be the other way around....there's more weight on the left side + you since you're the driver. I know a few people setting their coilover to be higher on the left side because the weight of the driver + weight of engine balances out the ride height.

which are the compliance bushings but really my right front spring looks messed up its really sagging you can see the coils coming together would this be the cause of more negative camber on one side and possible pull?
As for your compliance bushings, they're the front bushing in your front lower control arms. They're easily visible if your wheels are turned. They're a common wear item, for this chassis.
ok thank you very much guys i will check the bushings as well but i do believe it is the springs i will try with some other springs i have laying around
