suspension problems
I bought some tein street advance coil overs and after install i noticed that the passenger side front wheel had way more negative camber.Also when driving at high way speeds i can feel a slight shift or shimmy when i accelerate or decelerate. could this be due the the camber on one side? i have been messing with it and cant seem to get it also noticed that one of the bushing is completely done it tore. there is actually alot of stuff wrong with this car i got it awhile back and im just starting to work on it. i know im going to need to replace pretty much every bushing im sure that will improve my ride.

I'd be willing to bet the ball joint on your lower control arm is going out. Excessive camber is one of the first signs of such.
Raise that corner of the car off the ground, place your hands at 12 and 6 o clock on the tire, and apply alternating pressure, if there is a lot of play the ball joint is bad. If so you can either replace just the ball joint or the entire lower control arm assembly. I'd recommend doing both front lower control arms since the labor for just the ball joints is much more intensive than just replacing the entire arm, and will probably cost just as much and you'll still have worn bushings and an old arm.
