sounds kinda bodge but on a corsa you can file the holes that hold the top of the strut

if you did that you could alter the camber?

or get some adjustable top mounts and sort it that way

but doing that would be hiding the problem not solving it lol but i see what you mean i had adjustable camber bolts on the front of my corsa, this allowed me to adjust the camber on the front, little track from courtenay

Has the car been involved in an accident? did u get a hpi done on it before you got it?

I just can't understand what would cause the chassie to bend other than an accident

And again

Broster is correct - my Cav turbo, someone had decided to jack it up on the wishbone and bending it....
But i think my other suggestion could be on the money
