As the topic says. Is there a solution to the problem as i have brought it to wheel places and they cant seem to fix it. My car in not low at all and have seen lower starions with less camber.

Advice, thanks

Firstly don't bother with wheel specialists for alignments or suspension worries. In my experience they are less than qualified to deal with wobbly shopping trolleys.
Go see an independent suspension house or at a pinch Pedders (or the like) if you cannot find one.
Also get a measurement on what the camber actually is and see if it is in the acceptable range for Starions.

It could be a range of things, but my money is on worn bushes.

been to suspension places, since they cant seem to come up with parts for the car they suggest a strut bend.

The tow adjuster made no difference.

Get an adjustable strut top. They are on Starquest.com. May get you out of trouble.
