Can anyone help me out, my car was recently in an accident. When I got it back I took it to get aligned at the local Jack William's Tire. And they tell me that the camber is way out on the front wheel and slightly out on the rear wheel, and they where unable to correct it because there is no adjustment. So then it goes back to the body shop and he is telling me there is an adjustment to the camber on the front tire and the rear is adjusted with shims. Is there any truth to this, please let me know I just want to make sure it is being fixed right.

Thanks

The service manual says front Caster is not adjustable.
Front Camber can be adjusted by replaceing the upper and lower knuckle bolts hoding it to the strut assembly. A variance of up to 1degree, 30 minutes (I think that is the term) can be achieved with this bolt swapping procedure.

As for rear:
Only Toe is adjustable, according to the manual, but shims behind the upper arm bracket should also work for positive camber provided they leave 100% thread contact with the mounting bolts.

Seeing that them manual says nothing about it, using shims is your call. (dont blame me!)

Before going there, they need to see if the frame needs re-tweeking.
