In my case it had to do with the subframe settling.

Buy a kmac camber adjustment kit. That should fix your issue.<ul><li><a href="http://www.k-mac.com.au/">http://www.k-mac.com.au/</a</li></ul>

is ur car used? i mean like have you owned the car for as long as you had it?

because a friend of mine that bought a second hand legacy had that same type of problem. alignments dind't help, he found out later that it was because of a previous accident to the car where the frame was damaged.

Either your mechanic is an idiot, or your car is fvcked.

You CAN align the car with an aftermarket suspension. Things like the front camber are largely unadjustable...if you're too low, you'll have too much camber, and there isn't much they can do about it. They should be able to dial in front toe, and rear toe and camber.

A second opinion would help here. If it's still not aligned right...one of your suspension components is bent, or the frame is screwed (as nightkidz suggested).
