Default Camber Adjsutment
If moving the adjustment to the top inside (pulling the alignment rod to it's shortest position as shown in BillCarsons attached photo) does not allow for the wheel to be vertical, do not bend the rod to get there. Many have done this in the past and it just means buying more parts as it band-aide fix. If this is the case your spring has lost it's arch and it is best to replace that and go for a good alignment.

Good luck.

Joel

No disrespect, but you should consider taking the car to an alignment shop.
