I would first recheck, confirm your present camber on your garage floor. Then move the...
subframe in the direction to equalize the camber and recheck. When you get it to -1.25 both sides, 0.062" shims will reduce it to about 0.75. If I can help with the DIY details, ask.

Tell Pete Hi fo me
The ride height of the car can really impact alignment readings, are you loading the car afterward at all? Time for new bushings? Hard to say, but the Tire Source is the only shop I really trusted in the entire Denver Area.

We'll do
I was invited back in 1000 miles to recheck. The car is 100% stock and Steve, who checked the alignment, said he found no worn parts and really had no good reason why the car is hungry for left fronts.
The only change thus far has been to run the front at 38psi.

Thanks Bernie, I printed out the exploded view in ETKA so I should be good. Just had a septoplasty on Friday, so I won't be attempting anything until the vicodin supply runs out, haha.
