you need an alignment.

this is like "my scrambled eggs taste like **** this morning. I know i need to cook them first, but i will do that later. Why do my eggs taste like **** this morning?"

get an alignment, most likely it will solve your woes.

You need to tighten the adjustable bolts on them. Enough so that it won't come loose until you get it align. Your car will most likely not drive straight and even because the kit is not align correctly while you're tighten it down. When you get to the alignment shop, they will loosen it and correct it for you.

When I put my Ingalls on, I didn't really tighten the bolts and the car steer left while I'm turning the wheel right . This is while I'm driving to the alignment shop.

I spoke to a knowledegable technician and he said that there were some different possiblitys relating to camber kits and steering..Check the following
1.Inner and outter tie rods
2.Rack and pinion
3.Struts
4. if the camber kit was in fact installed correctly
5. controll arms
These are the few things that would actually affect the steering
Sorry for the long list but these are just the possiblilities that you should check out hope you can get this solved
