I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about... are you looking for a camber kit to adjust your own camber? Or are you talking about something else? I'm not sure how you're saying they're "finished" ... that's the part that doesn't really make sense.

If you want a kit, there are a few front kits available:

cambers? it's not a part. camber is an adjustment to the suspension geometry. your camber can't be broken. it can be misaligned but not broken. are you trying to say your struts have gone bad?

I'm not to sure. Continental Scion told me I need a new camber kit. And I know they aren't saying that to make money because they said I can put them in myself since I have the tools. Then I can take it to them and they will align it for me for free.

I had my car aligned twice and they said its because the camber links are worn out due to heavy road stress on the suspension. And if I don't replace it my car will dis align itself. They said since I'm modding my car up the @ss I should get performance ones. So I'm thinking of these...




with these

to be honest if they are worn out on a 2 year old car take it back to the dealer....lol i think someone is filling you full of s!@t take it somewhere else for an alignment and find out what they say but dont tell them about this, see what they say without knowing anything

sway??

Sway is body roll for the most part.

Is the camber off after a while (meaning you have had it checked) ?

honestly by the description, this doesnt make a lot of sense. What did your friend actaully tighten and check specifically?
