To replace the front camber bushing, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the suspension components, then unbolt the control arm connected to the bushing. Use a bushing removal tool to extract the old bushing and press in the new one, ensuring it is properly seated. Reassemble the control arm, reattach the wheel, and lower the vehicle, making sure to check the camber alignment afterward.
The top ball joint is held in with a offset bushing that can be pulled out and turned in the hole to change camber and or caster. Sometimes the adjustment can be done with the original bushing. Sometimes it needs a new bushing with more or less degrees of offset to get the adjustment. I would suggest removing the old ones and starting with new 0 degree bushings on both sides, then read the alignment, these first numbers will be where the angles truly are. Then replace them with whatever offset it calls for. It is much easier figuring the new bushing offset this way.
You might have adjustable bushings on your upper balljoints, jack up, take tire up, loosen pinch bolt and turn the bushing that holds the upperballjoint to adjust camber. If they are factory/non-adjustable: Get (2) camber adjuster bushings from an auto store. Jack truck, take tire off, you might need to turn the wheel before jacking up so you can unloosen the pinch bolt on the upper balljoint. Just loosen pinch bolt, and pry the old Camber bushing out (if it is OEM its probably not adjustable). tap new camber bushing in and turn to adjust the camber angle.
make sure you have th right sized bushing in, then make life easier and have it aligned by a computer
Most new sway bar bushings are split so they can be R & R easily. Remove clamp from bushing, slip or cut old bushing out, slip new bushing in and replace bushing clamp.
To replace the front strut bushing on a 1999 Plymouth Breeze, first, lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels. Next, detach the strut assembly by unbolting the strut from the knuckle and any top mounting bolts in the engine bay. Once removed, you can press out the old bushing using a suitable tool and install the new bushing, ensuring it is properly seated. Finally, reassemble the strut, reinstall it in the vehicle, and torque all bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.

Caster, camber and toe are part of the front end and steering alignment.
You didn't mention front or rear, the rear is much easier, the front one is one pain.
To adjust the camber on a 2003 Suzuki XL7, you'll need to use camber bolts or adjustable camber plates, as the stock suspension does not have factory-adjustable camber settings. Begin by lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Then, loosen the strut-to-knuckle bolts and replace them with camber bolts if necessary, adjusting them to achieve the desired camber angle. Finally, reassemble the suspension components, lower the vehicle, and check the alignment to ensure proper adjustment.
Front camber is adjusted at the strut to knuckle bolts.
