The shop I chose to lower my 2025 ST states I don't need 4 wheel alignment because the rear camber cannot be adjusted, he states "I was underneath it, and the rear can't be adjusted". Everything I read stated camber isn't adjustable, but toe is. Am I wrong here, by stating the 4 wheel alignment still needs to be done? By the way this is semi time sensitive because it goes in for alignment first thing tomorrow. TIA!

Unless they drastically changed the 25's, he's wrong. The upper link on the inner joint where it bolts to the rear subframe is on a cam bolt from the factory. There is a thread on here with a pic of it, do a search or maybe someone knows what thread it was and will post a link.

The rear camber can be adjusted and you should have it aligned after lowering. You might want to find a different shop that can properly align it.

Thank you for responding with good advice. The shop I chose told me they've done this before on an Exp, but now I'm wondering.

By the way, this site is the go-to, and I appreciate every one of you!

It’s a slotted connection, not a cam or eccentric, but otherwise correct.

It’s astounding how many shops don’t know how to align these things 5 years in.
