There must be a way to adjust camber on the 240 front suspension. Had the struts replaced a while back and after that the car seemed to have too much (positive) camber - so much that if you look at the car from the front, the tops of the wheels seem to be outboard of the bottoms of the wheels. Swedish Engineering in Ann Arbor did the work and claimed to have done a proper alignment afterwards. I had the car aligned again a couple years later somewhere else that claimed they couldn't adjust camber. The A-arm bushings have been replaced, so it's not due to worn bushings. Given that the A-arm lateral location is basically fixed, is the top mount of the strut adjustable? Isn't that what the 2 nuts are for on the mounting plate? I've driven the car for thousands of miles like this but would be nice to have it corrected. Any advice appreciated, thanks
