Does the orientation of the upper trunnion make a difference? I seem
to remember that flipping the trunnion would add / remove camber. If
so, maybe one side has it in opposite of the other one.
To make the non-adjustable suspension adjustable, we typically
shorten the upper A-arms, either by carefully sectioning them or by
cutting off the inner ends and welding a threaded tube to them so we
can attach a heim joint to the end. This actually gives adjustability.
Like the others said, something's pretty dramatically wrong with a
2.5 degree difference side to side.
Even though stock is 2 degrees positive camber, I'm sure I'd be
happier with 0 degrees or maybe a touch of negative camber.
