Default rear camber adjustments

curious on this quick item. Recently had my ball joints replaced, and I had my car alignment checked. They said it would not go into full alignment, and he said the rear had some stripped screws? I am curious what screws, and where they are located. he mentioned to me if I had a aftermarket suspension. Its a coilover, so why would this effect the alignment? Its afactory replacement part. I kinda think they were lazy. the steering wheel is also off by a 1/4 turn. It makes no sense. Just when I build a decent amount of respect for someone's work, it turns out to be below average. Ideas or thoughts. It is in line, but the rear is concerning me.

steering off by 1/4 turn? what do you mean? it's pointing sideways?

go to another shop, these days don't know what they are talking about. most of us have 4 wheel alignment done, and i personally SAW the tech adjusted my rear camber

After I installed my new L-tuned shocks and Daizen springs I had new tires mounted and balanced and then a 4 wheel alignment. Even with it being low, all 4 wheels were within spec and I watched the tech do all the work. He was even a bit surprised at the results because he said lowered cars rarely get that close to spec. I would take it somewhere else. Post a new thread asking if any GS owners in your area can recommend a place.

Good luck, I know how hard it can be to ifnd a trustworthy place.
