This is my second Crossfire. It's a 05 Base model. So far I have put new tires on her, fix the trans, installed a new top and, repaired a short in the wiring that controls emission components.
My baby has 119,000 miles and runs great so far. Still doing shake down runs to find other issues.

Thank you!
Today I set the camber on the front end, no parts required. both sides set @ 0 Deg. She drives a lot better. I will go and put it the alignment machine in a couple of weeks and get the front and rear toe set. Actually it would more like I may be able to help the owners in here.

Look forward to meeting some of you in the future.

To each their own, but the Crossfire really needs at least -1.0 degrees camber and stickie tires. The car is twenty years old and suspension componets do wear out, but very unusal to run without some negative camber. Toe up front can be zero, but not camber. From the factory only toe was adjustable, how did you get camber to zero?

Yea I know Zip, I just putt around in my Crossfire like an old farmer. I don't do any racing or high speed corning so I don't need the -camber. I am after long tire wear. Although I did notice the it don't pull when driving on our crowned roads.

Welcome to the family!
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to be helpful.
I think you might have mistaken your car's model. That looks like a Limited model to me.
Base models are black and have a cloth interior, no fog lights, no heated seats, no power seats, and no silver trim.
My car is a 2006 base roadster.
