(its positive camber+caster not negative) Got a 03 dakota 4.7 quad cab SLT 4x4, replaced front wheel hubs with duralast ones, mopar intermediate shaft replaced, monroe 34790 front shocks, detroit axle 80407-10F front suspension kit. Using factory 16in rims just got brand new set of goodyear workhorse ats 245/70/16. Had taken the truck to firestone for alignment and they "did what they could". Both front left, right camber and caster is way off, attached picture of the firestone alignment report they gave me, also steering wheel is about 15-20 degrees to the left when the wheels are centered. They didnt give me any info on saying anything was wrong etc, just told me thats all they could adjust to. Im unsure what else to do right now to fix it so dont ruin brand new $1000 tires, im not very knowledgeable with truck suspensions. If need pictures of something just ask.

Reason: title was wrong
I second this. If the steering wheel is off while the tires are straight then you need to adjust your tie rods. If they can't figure out that then you probably don't want them doing the more involved parts of the alignment.
firestone sucks. They never got my truck right, either. It's bad when you can only trust a dealer (and not even the one closest to me) to do an alignment correctly.
Dodge did a somewhat lazy/unusual way of the control arm adjustments on this platform. In doing so, it's a thorough PITA for a tech to do an alignment on, needing specialty tools and alot of time to get the job done versus a normal shim-style front end.
