Camber's not adjustable unless you have/get the adjustable ball joints. Adjustable Ball Joints
Caster can be adjusted however.

I think he means castor. To fix it you will need different upper or lower control arms, preferably adjustable.

i looked up the meaning of the three (camber, caster and toe). i think it is camber. if you are looking straight at the front of the vehicle. it looks like the bottom of the wheel base is slightly wider than the top wheel base. my lower control arms are new from rustys. hopefully it will look better after they align it. plus after i installed the lift, my steering wheel is off by 90 degrees when rolling straight down the road
