2002 sebring riding too high and camber adjustment
 
Just replaced front strut assemblies on 2002 sebring 4 door sedan. After 4 days the car has not settled down any lower. Its sitting nose high. Is there any adjustment for the height upfront. I also cant see how to adjust the camber . Can anyone tell me how to adjust that?

There is no adjustment for ride height. You may have gotten some thicker spring seats or something. The proper ride height for the front is 711 mm +/-
19 mm measured from the floor to the wheel opening fender lip directly above the wheel center. Plus/minus 19 mm is a pretty good sized range so chances are you are going to be within that range. (Measure with a full tank of fuel and nothing in the trunk or passenger compartment.) If you are outside of specs, double check part numbers for the springs and seats.

Camber adjustment is done by marking around the four bolts visible at the top of the spring towers under the hood. Then raise the car and support it by the frame. Loosen those four bolts, remove any plastic guide pins locating the upper mounting bracket to the spring tower and move the bolts inboard or outboard as necessary to correct the camber angle. The preferred camber angle is +0.1º. Acceptable range is -0.5º to +0.7º. These are pretty small ranges and will probably require sophisticated wheel alignment equipment to measure and set. If you don't have the equipment, you're probably better off having it professionally done.
