Can you adjust the air pressre some on the right rear to bring the camber back in?

Nope. Only way to bring it back out is with an adjustable upper control arm...which is over $200. Camber on a MacPherson strut is real cheap and easy- aftermarket cam bolts. Not that cheap on this setup. Curious if something was run over, since camber on both right wheels is out. Lower control arm is plastic and pretty scratched up, so it could have been stretched somehow.

Devin, welcome to the world of wacky specs. A lot of "specs" cover a large range. You know it's wrong but "within specs - so it's ok" . Some machines are set up for the mfr. specs so if it's "in the green", it's ok.

Morning Virginia.

Enjoy the fishing, Rocco.

Yeah, it's a bunch of crap, George. Probably save money in the long run to spend the money on an adjustable control arm. Won't eat up ties.

Looks good Devin. I have several pairs of Red Wing boots and shoes. I love them and they are still repairable depending on the sole by my local shoe repair guy. If he cant fix them then Red Wing can fix them. Which model boot did you get?

That I have Devin. My one pair of 8220's has already resoled once. Even managed to snag a zipper kit for my other pair of 8220's. Makes it so I just zip into them instead of lacing them up. Got the zipper kit for free.

Get a set of coil spring lift blocks. Put it in the spring, and it will bring the camber back. You have to put one on each side of the spring. Be careful, they suck to get in there
