Could someone explain this to me as I am unsure what it means.
Now I HAD a Kmac ratchet camber kit in the car but I was told that it kept comming loose due to it being not suited to crappy roads like where I am. Ive fitted a Shim kit to the car, with one 5mm shim on each side. With superlows its got massive 'commo camber'. I just had two front tyres fitted to the car since falkens were just crap in the wet and asked for a wheel alignment. I was told that the car has some front end issues. Currently the Drivers side front has -0.4 camber/castor which is within normal. The passenger side has +4.0!!!  : They couldnt align it or something? told me that i needed to come back during the week and get there mechanic to see whats wrong and that it "could be" a bent rod or some sort. Currently I have to drive the damn thing with the steeringwheel 20deg to the right to keep straight! Could anyone explain to me what +4 camber/castor could be? I dont know anything about this. It looks like they havent even shimmed it out? the guy didnt appear to know exactly what that ment. The car before me im guessing had been in a accident since it had been insurance repaired. But its not like the damn car is bent or anything! Thanks

Camber and castor are two totally different measurements. I'd be going somewhere with a clue if that's what they told you.

After showing rob pics of where the tyres are sitting, he reassured me that my original thought that the tyre CANNOT be +4 camber as its sitting inwards atm with a negative camber infact.
Im seriously going to go somewhere to get an alignment elsewhere
