I see Skunk2's for sale on eBay all the time, and no one I know has 'em. That, plus their dirt cheap price, make me think they're not exactly a quality part... but I've got no real experience w/ 'em so take my opinion w/ a grain of salt.

From your description of the camber plates, it sounds like one's rotated and installed improperly. To fix that, you should only have to put that corner in the air, remove the tire, remove the 3 nuts on the top mount, grab the strut from below, drop it down, rotate the top mount, and reinstall it correctly. The OEM torque for those top nuts is 14.5 ft/lbs, not too tight at all. If you've never done a strut install before, you'll probably spend some time wrestling with getting the top back into the 3 holes... I know MattR and I had some issues when we did his rear top mounts, an we've done suspension a bunch of times before.

Good luck!
