    Bad right side camber issues! Or drivers side

    Here's my problem right now, lets start off with the front, I replaced fcas, front shocks, and tie rods and went in for an alignment for toe but they adjusted my camber in the process, I got home and looked and the drivers side camber plate was maxed out negative but was within specs, the passenger side was moved about halfway and still isn't within specs.... Yea I know bad

    Now for the rear, setting both coilovers to the same height and setting it back down on the ground, the passenger side is a half inch difference from the drivers side.... Yea I know bad too! Nothing has been replaced in the rear ye besides subframe bushings. I know the tabs are bad but can they be that bad??

    Everything is messed up right now but any input would be nice, it's not supposed to be that bad
    Here's the specs from the alignment

    Any help or input would be greatly appreciated

    Could be a bent strut tube or and improperly welded coilover tube (BC/Megan)

      Would be bent housing if anything, still doesn't explain the rear....

        I'd suspect the right side of the car has taken a hit, like a curb strike. The right front will have a bent control arm, bent strut housing, or frame damage. The right rear has a bent trailing arm or frame damage

          I'd think the drivers side would be bent if anything, because with both sides in the full
          Negative on the camber plates, the drivers side reads almost within oem specs, and I noticed upon changing the drivers side control arm that the whole outside edge was ground down.. Like into the outer ball joint which makes me believe the previous owner lost a wheel or something and in turn bent the housing??

          Now back to the rear, can rtabs account for a 1/4 inch in ride height difference? And camber being off? This is bugging the shit out of me

            RTABS & subframe bushings could account for the ride height variation, but that is a lot of camber on the right rear wheel.

                bump for this, rtabs are now replaced from the looks of everything the whole right side just has way more negative camber the the drivers side.
