The camber has been very visible. I'm guessing something in the 6-8 degree range.

I'll see what I can do. I'm leaving for the dealership in about 20 min. It looks like the sun has just come up so there should be enough light.
Camber was achieved using H&R springs.

Camber was only 3.5 degrees. It looks more extreme. The problem now is the assembly is froze due to rust and can't be adjusted. Cost to repair........about $750.

Torch would melt/burn the rubber bushings. That is probably what they will have to do to get the adjusters out anyway.

Fronts are frozen too. The camber isn't that bad that I can't wait to get those done. I can do those in the spring. I'll add lots of axle grease to keep it from happening again.

I used to have the abs & legs of a body builder. My legs are mostly there, but I now have 12 pack abs. I never had a great upper body.
My legs came from bike riding and the abs came from a high school wrestling coach.

It's most likely a standard that was set by other women that are uncomfortable with their bodies.

You must post pics so we can tell if it is a real complaint or not.

Email them to me. I'll let you know if they are safe or not. It's in my job description.
