Default camber problem???

the front camber on tires is very weird. right now i have stock struts, and maxspeed coilovers. both are all the way down.

but my drivers side has about twice as much camber as the passenger side does (which is almost straight). but the other day before i rotated my tires they were both about even. im so confused why they would be different now.

i will soon have my new ksports...and they get an alignment and all that good stuff.

but does anyone know why there would be that big of a difference in camber from where to wheel?? and why they would be even one day then after i rotate my tires they would change that much.

like its a huge difference, it looks to be about an inch or more difference in the camber angle...?

i figured that much...its plain to see my camber is not correct. its very bad.

im asking if anyone knows why it would change so much after i rotated my tires. both wheels were close to even amount of camber. then after i rotated them one is very very bad, and the other side is actually close to being stock camber.

why would that happen? that is the question.

and please do not tell me to get an alignment, i already know that i need one. and i will get one when i get my new coilovers. no point to get one now then get one in another week when i get the new coilovers.

thanks

most likely due to different tire pressures. check them both, one might be low/high.
