I'm setting caster using the 20-degree method, so the camber needs to be at zero before I can use it to gauge the caster. Of course, you can't set the camber if the wheels aren't pointed forward, so that has to at least be in range. On the passenger side, the caster is around 7, and the camber is maybe 30', and the toe is in. I can't adjust it out because of the condition of the threads of the tie rod. There are threads to be had, they just can't be used. I think incremental adjustments will get it there. I just need new tie rods that are adjustable to their full travel.
