You can slot the top hole on your strut where the spindle bolts slot it back and it. Will let you pick up some negative camber not a lot but some

Funny! I read it as "caster" even though it says camber in the second sentence.

That's funny...I couldn't read the run-on sentence whatsoever..

If you have to hold the wheel then you have a pull.
Try cross rotating the front tires.
If your alignment angles are in the green then it's a tire pull.
My sc's alignment is 100% in the green front and rear, with the summers on she's straight as an arrow.
When i put my winters on she pulls hard right,cross rotate fixed that.

well upon further investigation it looks like from reading in my old school books that a vehicle will pull to the highest positive camber so i orded caster camber plates and hopefully that will take care of it

You can pick up A LOT going that route.

This was one of the old school tricks of the slalom/road race guys with Fox based cars (and many others) I did it to my struts when I was running open lapping events on a regular basis. Stock max I could get was -1*

After the mod I could easily get more than -2.5*. Remember....an 1/8" at the mounting point translates into a much larger move at the top of the tire.
