I took my 240 in to get an alignment done, When I went to pick it up the shop told me that the driver side rear was adjusted as negetive as it could go and it was still somewhere around +2 degrees, The nissan tech told me that slotting the ruca hole just slightly should correct the camber issue, becouse of the fact that it is only slightly off. My question is can I use camber correction bolts to fix my positive camber, and if so which ones should I use.

Fix the problem, which is probably something bent.

Right on. Unless you have a Rancho 4x4 lift kit, or your alignment guys are wrong, sumpin is bent. Camber correction bushings won't get you 2ยบ

At the dealership we went over it and found nothing that was bent, There were no bolts that were elongated or off, The techs there were baffled, The tire almost looks like it is streight but upon closer inspection it is slightly cambered out. I have thought to maybe change the hub on it and see what that does, But the car rides exeptionally well, so figured I could just put my set of 1" lowering springs and some camber bolts and it would fix the problem

It is also possible that there is a part which is slightly bent, if so whch part would it be, I am guessing either the rear lower control arm or the hub.

I Am Willing To Bet That If You Swap A Straight Subframe In Back There It Will All Level Out. You Can Also Get Adjustable Ucas Which Can Adjust Camber Quite Abit.

I replaced the subframe earlier this year along with several other parts back there, I will probably go with the ucas, How is the ride quality with these, does it diminish it by much. Also were is the best place to get them at a resenable price. Thanks.

Just Pick One Up From Someone Who Got A Lsd, Or Purchase One With A Lsd For Like $500 Shipped.
The Adj Ucs Make For A Stiffer Ride And You Definately Feel Abit More Of The Road Back There.
