    Does anyone know where I can buy a camber plate for cheap?
    Are ebay ones okay?

    For the cost to get my frame fixed its just not worth it.
    If camber plates don't work then the car goes night night.

    sure, you could also throw it on a rack and straighten out the frame.

    What about steering rack? Probably not huh?
    You have an alarming amount of cross camber. You may have other issues as well, but this is a big one that needs addressing.

    Calling all r3v'ers who have experienced a bad wheel bearing.

    Worn strut mounts or control arm ball joints are a possible cause for this. So are worn tie rods. Trying to move the wheel while the car is on jack stands will tell you what is loose. If it moves when you grab it top and bottom, its strut mounts and/or ball joints. Side to side is tie rods.
    Suspension is tight.

    Jlevie always with the save.
    My driver side camber is off only on that side.
    Car was in accident previous owner. Not sure how bad of accident.
    -2.6 degrees camber on drivers and -.08 on passenger.
    I'm guessing my frame is bent.. Found out after I bought the car :(

    I don't wanna buy a wheel bearing finding out its not the problem and realizing the car is just crap.

    If I can. What does it mean? (Not saying it does) and while the car's on jacks?
    If you can feel the wheel thunk back and forth, that means something's worn out. You said your suspension is in good shape, so that leaves your wheel bearings.
