Replaced front struts / mounts / bellows, etc. and control arms in my '07 Chrysler Pacifica. The OEM struts had normal holes on top and bottom, more or less a fixed position for camber. The KYB Excel-G I replaced them with has wide slots at the bottom, obviously requiring an alignment after installation.
Is there any rudimentary way to get it to a reasonable camber angle with a level or some other tool? I just need to get it to the alignment shop. The slot is obscenely wide, probably measuring a a few degrees in positive / negative direction. My best guess resulted in the tires pointed inward far more than normal when I lowered the car off the lift and drove it around the driveway, and it set off a stability control fault code. Just want to get it within a reasonable value where I can drive it 20 miles to the alignment shop I use.
A second attempt (after clearing stability codes) got it close visually and no longer sets codes. But I'd like to do better than that if possible.
