I cant remember if that car has a full subframe. Your subframe might have slid over to the passanger side. if you loosen the bolts and slide it to the left, it will give negative caster on the left but also positive on the right. If that makes sense, haha. Could be a bent strut tower under the hood compare them side to side.

To adjust camber, you'll need to either replace a strut to spindle bolt with a camber bolt, or use adjustable top mounts or camber plates. These adjustments allow you to alter the angle of the wheel relative to the ground, either making it tilt inwards (negative camber) or outwards (positive camber).
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Camber Bolts:
Function:
Camber bolts are eccentric bolts that can be turned to change the camber angle.
Application:
They are typically used on the rear wheels, where the suspension geometry might be more open to adjustment.
How to Use:
Replace one of the strut to spindle bolts with a camber bolt, and then turn the bolt to adjust the camber angle.
2. Adjustable Top Mounts (Front Wheels):
Function:
These mounts allow you to move the strut or coilover up and down and slightly towards or away from the car, effectively changing the camber.
Application:
Primarily used for front wheels, especially on vehicles with MacPherson strut suspension.
How to Use:
Adjust the top mount using an Allen wrench to move the strut relative to the steering knuckle, which in turn changes the camber.
3. Camber Plates (Front Wheels):
Function:
Similar to adjustable top mounts, they allow you to move the strut or coilover to change camber.
Application:
Often used for front wheels, offering a wider range of adjustments than camber bolts.
How to Use:
Adjust the plate using an Allen wrench to move the strut, changing the camber.
4. Adjustable Suspension Arms (Rear Wheels):
Function: Some vehicles have adjustable lower control arms that can be lengthened or shortened, changing the camber.
Application: Primarily used on rear suspension setups.
How to Use: Loosen the nuts on the arm and turn the adjusting section to change the arm length, and thus the camber.
Important Considerations:
Professional Alignment:
After making camber adjustments, it's highly recommended to get a professional wheel alignment to ensure proper settings.
Consult Service Manual:
Your vehicle's service manual may provide specific instructions for camber adjustment.
Tire Wear:
Incorrect camber can lead to uneven tire wear, so it's important to have it set correctly.
Driving Experience:
Camber can affect handling, so it's important to consider the desired handling characteristics when making adjustments.

And if u want ur steering to feel real vivid get urself a new steering rack slider from SHG noght and day difference

@picodagayo5091 says:

Check ur lower controla arm bushings and ball joints also just order urself some camber bolts then take it for an alignment but upgrade them control arm bushings and ball joints aswell
