After replacing front lower control arm bushings the shop can't get the camber where it is supposed to be on the right side. After getting underneath the car to look at everything after they aligned it I noticed the that on the drivers side they have the camber bolt all the way out on the drivers side and all the way in on the passenger side.
My question is this. Seems to me that it the subframe is off a little then that is what would happen, but how do you get the subframe in the correct position? It's seems like it was not adjustable when I had it out..
Any ideas on how to correct the problem would be of great help.
Thanks,
Jim

Yea usually when you can't get the alignment rite means two this Bad suspension part(s) or Frame damage. Either or could be the problem if your suspension parts are good then check for frame damage.

There is no frame damage and all suspension parts are good... the car was lowered by the previous owner. Not sure if or how that would affect things.

There is some slop in the mounting of both front and rear subframes. I would recommend replacing all the bushings like I did. FIGS has all you need as well as arms and much more. They have several write ups on here if you search. They also have some hubcentric bushings for extra adjustment in certain areas. If you have any questions give them a call and they can help you out with all your suspension issues/questions.
I had them install the full kit since they are local to me and my alignment which was previously like yours aligned perfect and rides great. Everything is firm but not rough. They have great blog on the install of all the bushings so you can diy.
