ALignment shop/Camber Adjustment troubles

1994 f150 Scab 4x2

shop saif they couldnt complete the alignment cause i dont have the "camber adjustment bolts/brackets" installed? ive heard of this but i have also heard i cant get these for my truck? please set me straight? i need to start looking for these so i can get a proper alignment.

i had horrible camber before the alignment. the tires would be slanted inward horribly when i went in reverse and would kinda like drag whenever i turned etc. its a lot better now but still has the issue a bit

please help guys thanks

they wanted to charge me 85 bucks per tire to put the brackets/bolts in and do the alignment for another 30 something bucks. all in all they wanted like 260 for it all. let me know if these are cheaper/buyable elsewhere. thanks guys

I would actually try and figure out what is causing the camber to be so far out before band-aiding it with adjusters. For example, if the springs are sagging real bad, then replace them.

Camber adjustment sleeves are available, but they are a pain to install. $85 a side to have them installed is a good price, but you shouldn't need them. You should find out the root of the problem.

so bad springs would cause the tires to point inward at the top and get worse in reverse?

how do i know if the springs are bad? do i just assume and replace them?
