i have a 1998 mitsubishi mirage with the lowering springs . the road crew left a giant hole in the earth with no warning so i hit it very hard. any way there's no adjusment left in the camber bolt. can i just cut the strut towers loose and reposition them and weld them back to allow for more alignment. or is there an easier way.

I assume yu are talkin about the frunt. No that is very bad to do. It will weaken the area. There were not really any camber adjustment , to very minimal on that model. the impact itself could have bent the strut slightly . At the lower end causing an effect in the camber. The bend is not always really noticable to see, but its there. There is a way to get around it tho , as i had , its a not that great image . drawn on bitmap but serves the purpose.

On the bottom bolt where the strut bolts to the spindle , basically yu unbolt the strut frum the spindle. On the lower bolt hole yu "open" slot it side ways to give more camber adjustment. This is the correct way to add camber adjustment on a MC Pherson strut setup.

if its that far out of whack.. u probably bent the strut make sure nothing is bent
then see about the alignment also

yeah thats the best thing tho as stated, Check and make sure that there isnt sumthin else wrung before goin and making that adjustmet. That sumthin isnt terribly bent , broken out of wack before rushing to overcompensate for sumthin that is bent.
