Sad camber issue


hi there guys! my car has probably some camber issue and i don't know what i should do. my car is sitting on a 20" wheels and there's a camber issue in the front left wheel. i brought my car to ford service to have 4 wheel alignment and ask them to check my front tire camber and they said that everything is in perfect shape. there was nothing wrong with their computer check up to my car however, the camber from my front left tire has probably -2 degrees and it drive me nuts.. is there anyone knows what's goin on?

first, you need to tell us what its doing cuz, we dont know from your post what is the issue. second if the alignment computer dont detect anything wrong maybe its not the alignment, maybe its the steering rack or wheel bearing issues, need more info man...

x2 this would help diagnose the problem we need more than camber as a symptom so come on what does it do
what have you done to the car since youve had it
things like this will help us help you

well..there are no symptoms yet in my car.. my car was pulling to the left before so i had to bring my car to ford service to have 4 wheel alignment.. s0 they did.. it fixed the pulling issue.. as the tire goes.. i couldn't tell as of now as my tires are new.. i've been using my wheel since last march. about understeer and stuff like that... it doesn't do anything like that.. it drives as smooth as it should be.. there's nothing wrong on how it works on the road.. however, it is visually obvious that my other tire infront isn't perpendicular to the road. the bottom wheel is farther out than the top. the thing is, it is just only one tire who has this issue.

that is kinda wierd man have you bumped a curb or anything on that side

camber normally comes in pairs not only on one corner if anything buy a camber kit and put only the one side on

oh what size are the stock rims cuz 20's sound kinda big for a mustang if the rims you have on now are larger then you should have positive camber if anything take a pic and post it for us to see that will help us for sure

well since you are 3" bigger than stock you should have positive camber not negative so i would check your upper and lower ball joints because that could cause problems and they can go out very easily
