Camber adjustment/rack and pinion

What problems are you having? Also what specs are you shooting for? Adjustable strut rods cnn help get the desired negative camber while achieving positive caster sweep. In my experience adding length to the strut rod will increase positive caster with the rear uca cam all in and the front cam all out. Final adjustments usually end up with the rear cam all in and the front cam at about 2 o clock on the pass side and 10 o clock on the driver side. Toe 1/32-1/16" in.

Exactly the opposite. Lengthening the strut rod would decrease positive caster. Positive caster leans the spindle back, so pushing the bottom of the spindle back by lengthening the strut rod would make the caster worse, not better. Shortening the strut rod improves positive caster.

Regardless, the strut rod length shouldn’t be used to tune the alignment specs. The most important function for the strut rod is controlling the movement of the LCA, so, if you have adjustable strut rods the length should be set so that the LCA moves freely through it’s whole range of travel without any binding.
