    Camber correction. Fix negative camber. Frame damage.

    Hey guys, my camber is off about -1.5 degrees from frame damage.
    What would be the cheapest and best way to fix this?
    And would this actually fix my handling problems?

    You should be able to fix front camber errors with camber plates or rear camber errors with weld-in adjusters. But you should have a frame shop look at the car and give you an estimate to correct the damage. That may be no more expensive.

    BTW: before doing anything else replace the front control arms for front errors or the affected trailing arm for a rear error.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      I'm looking for the cheapest fix.
      Anybody heard of strut bending? Seems like that can fix my problem.

        Strut bending is a very common thing on race cars, you can get about 1 degree before the insert has issues. Keep in mind you'll need a proper jig, tools, and some math. I've seen more than one set screwed up by someone who didn't do it methodically.

          Hope this doesn't cost too much.
