Default Is Camber adjustable by moving the upper strut supports? I have way too much negative camber...

On one front wheel. Control arms seem to be OK. No noise when driving, no play when I PULL, TUG, and WIGGLE front wheels when the car is jacked up. I had a wheel alignment done At C & C motors in Houston but they didn't seem to touch this Camber problem, and I was out of town so I did not see what they did. They gave my Wife no info or print out either...just said, "all is Good, pay up"! I still have too much Negative Camber!!!

Default Not much. If one side has more negative than the other you can shift the subframe in the direction

of the wheel with less negative camber to make them equal. You'll always have negative camber if you're lowered however, unless you use adjustable CA's like CPPs

Why do you think you have too much negative camber? Tire wear? Looks?
