front right tire has camber...need some advice.
a while ago i got into an accident, i had fallen asleep driving and smashed into 3 parked cars ... i only had slight injuries but my car was most damaged...the most damage was to the front right wheel well area ... the wheel was pretty much ripped out where is was adjacent to my car rather than straight...i replaced many things like the spindle, struts, tire rod, staightened the frame and replaced the brakes and all that ... there is still a slight camber, and was wondering if an alignment would resolve that? and if not, what should i look into to resolve this. thanks a lot. i plan on keeping my car for atleast another 5 months, so i want my tires to last. i love my car so i want to spend a little more money on it. i just had the 2 rear hub assemblies, rotors, and wheel bearings replaced...i hope this camber thing doesnt cost me too much.

4 way alignment
I recently had a auto body shop do a 4 way lazer alignment. Fancy way of saying it is VERY accurate. The printout you receive details any variances from factory specifications. I was having a very slight steering wheel vibration and it was happening at various speeds. The rear end was EXACTLY on spec, something th etech guy said was unusual. The right front was off something like 1 degree due to a leaking strut. Tech said the leaking strut was allowing the wheel to move ever so slightly and thus the vibration at different speeds and not consistently. I've got new struts, now I just need to balance the tires and I'll be good to go.
The alignment cost either $69.95 or $79.95.
Good luck,
kurt
