Right front camber?

When I got my alignment done at my mechanic the other day they could not adjust the right front camber. I believe its at -1.5 but they kept the sheet to try and find something to correct this. What can I buy as far as kits to correct this problem? Im almost positive this is what led to my front tires being scalloped. Any help is appreciated!

Get a front camber kit so that they can get it within specs.

All I needed to hear. Any suggestions for a good cheap one? cheapest one I saw on here was the Ichiba. I dont have tons of money to spend, gotta get this, new tires and body work done so Im gonna be strapped like crazy for cash.

Ichiba might be fine. The problem with the cheaper kits is the limited amount of positive camber adjustment they offer. Make sure you research this before you buy a specific brand.

Well the ichiba I believe goes to a +3.5...I think, I wouldn't need more than that for a normal alignment right? Im not gonna get dropped or anything like just stock.

If ur not drop I wouldn't think u need a camber ki. I will try another alignment shop and ask for the spec sheet when they get done.

I dunno, these are family friend mechanic's. I cant find the alignment sheet but he said the right front camber was off and if I remember it was at -1.5. He said he cant adjust it correctly cause it was non adjustable, and in order to adjust it you would need a camber kit. There is definitely something wrong with it cause after 5 thousand miles my front tires are scalloped bad. They were new.

The ichiba kit definitely does not give you +3.5 camber adjustment. It will give you an added degree of positive camber, so that would put you around -0.5

Right from their official site. +/- 3 degrees.

That should be good enough to do a "normal" alignment right? All I care about is not having my tires scallop again.
