do not consider any long camber bolts as that is not fixing the fault for camber to be so far one of the control arms has been fitted incorrectly or in the wrong place
is the upper control arm on the right side of the mount on the chassis
is the lower control arm on the top
The car is manufactured correctly so check for collision damage that is placing the control arm positions so far out
best is to buy a workshop manual and study the set up for the suspension
rest assured that buying something to fix a fault that should not be there to start with is a futile exercise and a waste of money
for camber to be way out the wheels will be leaning way in at the top or way out at the top as that is what camber is

Thehead bolt torque settings, on your Kia 2.7 diesel engine, is 70 pounds per ...
The torque specifications are as such:
• 120 ft-lb. The bolts should be torqued at 40-pound intervals.
• Big End Bearings - loose torque 45nm +90 Degree then do final torque 87nm.
Camber adjust bolts mounted from steering knuckle to strut will NOT change caster. 0.3' degree difference in caster is acceptable, up to 0.5'degrees higher on right is preferable for road crown correction. 0.5'degrees higher on left may show a noticeable drift to right while driving.
yes . fitting new bushes and ball joints to the upper control arms would fix the problem. However do not forget that toe out will cause the same tyre pattern on the treads.; If you have hit something on the road and bent the tie rods you will get the same effect. Have the front suspension properly checked out and fixed then have a wheel alignment done.
camber adjustment is not provided for by the factory, to provide a way to adjust this calls for a special "Camber" kit to be installed, contact Napa auto parts is bet choice to gethis kit.
their is no camber adjustment,its factory preset so to speak by virtue of its design.If you are having a`problem with tyre wear on this side then first measure outside wheel rim front to back wheel through centre ,both sides and see if distance is more that half a centimetre,look at distance between back of wheel and wing if its not equal each side of car then you have a problem.if its just a bit of scuffing on outside of tyre then this is normal and its caused by the power steering.If the wheel is not within the same distance either side then its either a body jig to straighten or the lower track control arm bent ,this sort of thing is caused by people drinking and driving or using a mobile phone whilst driving ,and wacking the kerb.Or evan worse women drivers trying to reverse park with wheel on lock and trying to mount pavement.
