Oh and I believe whoever said it, toe is the only adustable thing. Camber isn't well if it was why would you need a camber kit to offset it?

well if just tires is the only place open to do it, have them do it, just make sure they have the computerized ----.

My experience:
eyeballers = 3 times and still shitty, got tired of the wait time so said ---- it.
computerized = one time and pretty much perfect

cast, camber, and toe is adjustable on all stock cars to a certain point, but if it's lowered, chances are they can't adjust it enough to correct it without a camber kit, and camber kit has nothing to do with cast. camber kits adjust camber, tie rods adjust toe, and i don't know what the ---- adjusts cast, but i know it's adjustable. btw, i just picked my car up, ------- 80 bucks for an alignment!!!!, but with the new ball joints, new tie rods, new rear lca's and a nice alilgnment, ---- rides like a brand new car the guy told me that was the most fucked up toe he's ever seen, i believe it too b/c you could literally see one wheel pointing out like it was turned when the other wheel was straight, and the normal 12o'clock on the steering wheel was facing 3 o'clock just for me to drive straight

jesus ---- man, camber and caster is non adjustable on his car, on the rear maybe if you do the hacked washer method to change the camber, but on the front, nope, all you can adjust is the toe.

yea only toe is adjustable. (well civic at least)
adjustable with tie rod in the front and rear trailing arm in the back.

you need aftermarket camber kit to do camber and adjustable top mount to adjust Casters

I'm glad it didn't rain on the way to the shop bro'. Driving a car with crazy toe in is like ice skating at highway speeds.
