You may be able to fudge a little by lossening both spindle - strut bolts and putting torque on the spindle while you re tighten them, but that won't be real exact.

Yes, there is probably a little play in the top mounts. same thing as the spindle... Losten, apply horzontal pressure, tighten.
Can sombody please elaborate on Dean's instructions here please? The strut bolts are the 3 little guys that my strut tower bar mount to right? And the spindle bolt is the one in the center right? So should I loosen all 4, jack up the rear of the car and push on the wheel in the direction I want and then check to see if that made a difference somehow?

Since I want one rear wheel to gain a touch of neg. camber and the other to gain a touch of pos. camber, I'm thinking I may not need to install camber bolts. Thanks.
