    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

i drive my 2011 hyundai genesis 3.8l sedan pretty hard. been hearing a lot of suspension noise and decided to investigate. i know a little when it comes to working on cars so i was able to replace my lower control arm. i know just from my human eyes i cannot tell if my car is out of alignment. it looks like the passenger front wheel has a lot of camber either + or - idk but it appears to have camber. as i was replacing the control arm i was also looking for camber bolts and i could not see any. my question is do these cars have camber adjustment at all? i called 2 different shops and both said around 80 for a 4 wheel alignment so its not the end of the world but if its just toe at the front i can do that and an alignment shop would simply be waste of time. any recs?IMG_0230.webp
 
whatever damaged that control arm likely knocked your alignment out of spec too. Camber bolts would not come stock. 80 dollars for a legit 4 wheel alignment is cheap in my area! If it were me I'd take it in and get it done professionally before you discover uneven treadwear.
