Don't think so? I don't have any vibration issues at all.

I am not sure, I am not really familiar with these parts. I did ask the alignment shop to check over everything that could possibly be causing it, and they said they couldn't find any worn out parts, so I don't know.

I had the shop slot the struts and align to -1.0 up front. The car feels SO much more planted especially around corners.

Front left Castor and Rear left Toe are causing the pull to the right.

Oh, that's right, it was the castor that he said couldn't be adjusted, not the camber as I stated in my first post. So if that's what's causing the problems, and it's not adjustable as he stated, what do I do? And how is the rear toe adjusted?
