I could be wrong, but I don't think there is anything you can do for camber up front.

Yeah, I know that, but my camber is way off, so I have to do SOMETHING about it. Frame alignment? I have no clue.

There will be a couple of adjustable upper A-arms coming to market very shortly. Do a search for more details.

How did your fronts get so screwed up? Did you curb the wheels? That's kind of strange on a car with no camber adjustment.

I did hit the curb once, but very lightly (like 5mph), it was more of a scratch.

I think the cause of this was the unsuccessful attempt to dodge some of these damn Chicago potholes
