I have a 1988 escort gt I was wondering how I can adjust the camber on the car.
Answer -
there is realy no camber adj. but anything is possible . let me ask you a question did you lower the car.i need to know so i could set you in the rt direction?
No the car is not lowered at all. I am using the car to race in a 4 cylinder class on a third of a mile asphalt oval track and the problem I am having is that in t he turns the right front fire is rolling over on the sidewall.Also any other suspension tips would be greatly appreciated. The cars have to remain stock.
Answer -
In that case all  you  need to do is were your strut bolts over the spindle just oblong the holes and push the wheel inward this will give you more - camber.replace the air inyour tires with nitrogen air this will stop the tire from building up pressure when the temp inside the tire changes os this way you won't get a push.also scale the car out you want the  weight of the Lf rear 25 to 75lbs  more then the rest you have to play with it so you don't get to loose.good luckCamber
Thanks for the help. You mean the two bolts on the top of the strut at the strut tower correct?  

Answer
No the two bolts were the bottom of the strut meets the spindel behind the wheel.just oblong the bottom bolt.push in or pull out but when you do this make sure both bolts are loose.then tighten them when your wheel is were you want it. then if you need more then do the top bolts but do the bottom first good luck
