Need some input. I recently had new control arms and tie rods installed on my car and now I have a pretty bad camber issue. My car is lowered and the camber was not a issue on the stock control arms. I rather not get adjustable control arms if I don't have to. Could this possibly be a issue with improperly installed control arms? Thanks in advance.
Did you get an alignment after the install?

Yup. Had a different shop do the alignment and they are telling me that the front camber is at -2.5 and that the only way to correct is to get adjustable control arms. If absolutely necessary, I dont mind getting adjustable control arms but just want to make sure that it is not a incorrectly install issue.
gotcha. there is no way to adjust for camber on our cars in the front on stock hardware.
maybe they put one of the arms on wrong, so maybe that could be an issue? you would have to look or post a picture on your car

That sounds about right for camber on stock arms if you're lowered quite a bit. I think factory spec is like -1 degree. How low are you?
^ I assume he is purty low.
Op- the moog arms are adjustable and alot cheaper than new rubber every season. it is almost a necessity when you are low.
