Serious Camber Issue

I changed my whole front passenger wheel hub, LCA and upper control arms. I never payed attention to it before but I noticed there is a massive camber on the front. Every time I take a sharp bend with some speed, my front wheels chirp.

Is this due to a wheel alignment issue or the camber issue? It looks pretty nice but it also looks very detrimental to my tyres life...

R33 GTST.

how is the tyre wear on that tyre? does it show signs that it was like that before you worked on it? if it does then it may be that the car has been in a crash. if the tyre wear is even then i'd be taking it straight to a tyre or suspension place and get them to inspect it and do a wheel alignment.

The car has been in an accident so to speak(it was driven over a gutter by the first owner) but the tyre wear was very even. Its only the last couple days Ive noticed how negative the camber is as the top sits in quite alot. It happened esp after I changed the castor rod to a solid one. The suspension was checked by Jax and they said it was quite solid and that the accident didn't cause any structural damage but it did damage the passenger side bearings and ball joint which is why I changed the whole hub.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
