Default correction?

[align=left]Ok, so i got my alignment done finally since my accident where i hit a curb with the front right wheel. It bent the rim and effed up my alignment. Well, the place told me that they could go as much/best as you can, but its still 1 degree off the specs. It is better than before, but not even close to perfect. the steering wheel is still so off center. Will getting those camber bolts from ebay/ modern do the trick for me?
thanks!

did you bend the tierods, or control arm... and its time to get a new wheel if you bent yours.... do it soon.... else you will be looking at more expensive repairs in the future..... b/c you will get uneven tire ware which can eventually lead to a blow out... but no if your wheel is messed up the camber bolts will do NOTHING for you....

ok, my bad for not clearing more.lol. I did get my wheel replace (picked a junk yard one up). So, that worked out awesome and then i got my suspension and steering looked at. A different place told me that my steering and suspension setup is in good condition. And i THINK that firestone (where i got my alignment done at) mentioned something about a camber kit. its only 1 degree off, so im just looking for a fix.

did they say the camber was 1 degree off or something else like toe or caster? if you hit something hard enough to bend your rim, it might be a caster problem. thats when the lower control arm gets bent forward or backward and if you look at the wheel from the side, it looks like it was pushed forward or backwards. if it is a camber problem, camber bolts will work on neon i think for up to 1.75 degrees. they are also called crash bolts and you can get them pretty cheap on ebay or a local autobdy repair shop. i paid 30 bucks to do all for wheels on my car.
