if you it a pot hol it will cause the camber, but if they fix the camber and you are getting alot of vibration or even jerking somewhat then your tire balance can caue it. but you need to check every thing bro.

3 degrees is not alot lol thing of it being. A 180 degree angle a straight line. just 3 degrees out is not alot. U have so much threads on the outer tie rod ends to compensate for the camber

Sucks you blew a strut on the balt bro

current set up FE3 Stock on a 08 cobalt 2.4l sport

CED FE5 shocks and strut set up SS/TC i know this will drop 1/2 in
Progressive sport or eibach sportline springs looking at extra 1.25 to 1.50 drop..i think
Eibach or other rep company for front and rear sway bars...or go with SS/TC front / Rear sway bars
I know noting about rack spacers and if I need them, same goes with control arm bushings as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just found this on CDE, but it's a FE5 kit with peddler sport springs, they was 5 something for the whole set up. then all I would honetly need is the TC rear sway bar and I should be good right??

sounds like a plan to me. now if I get the FE5 TC sway bar, will it still mount to the stock FE3 mounting brackets?
