So I got a Nissan 07 350z and I just got it repaired from a body shop after an accident problem is though front won't align. The guy at fire stone is telling me just my front left isn't aligning and it's either a knuckle or control arm. Is there any way I can know for sure. I have picture of the alignment paper.

All stock components?

You point to camber being out of range. Camber is NOT adjustable on factory control arms. To properly align FRONT CAMBER on a Z, you need aftermarket FUCAs. These may also fix the toe as any adjustment to camber OR toe OR caster have a corresponding effect on all three aspects.

FWIW, a -1.8deg negative camber isn't that big of a deal (from tire wear perspective) BUT you will probably feel pulling one way or the other as uneven L-R camber leads to "off" caster and toe settings affecting straight line behavior.

I'd also have a look at the rear toe. That's also out of spec.

I'm not sure that left side toe setting would be affected by either part the shop mentioned. I'd think one of the steering (tie) rods could be adjusted to set the toe properly. I'd try another alignment shop.

I had this problem too a while back - very similar to you I think:




But now on adjustable everything

Did your insurance clear this vehicle? Or is it salvaged?

Or did you do a cash n hand repair job and never tell them to avoid salvaging the title?

It could be your shocks or arms are bent, or your chassis is screwed.
