Hey guys. I’m looking for some advice. I took my Fusion in for a wheel alignment today since I swapped out of my winter tires and noticed my driver side wheel camber was noticeably negative. The mechanic put it on the rack and started by attempting to adjust the camber. He was unable to get it within spec. He told me that the struts were worn and need to be replaced.
I have no problem replacing the struts if these are, in fact, the problem. I haven’t noticed any issues with handling or ride, except for minor vibrations when I first drive the car after sitting overnight and occasional side to side wheel feedback through the steering wheel.
Can worn struts cause negative camber that cannot be corrected with an alignment? Can there possibly be another component that may be the cause? Like I said, I am willing to change the struts but I want to make sure that this is the cause. Is there any way to verify?
