Message respect to the lower control arm. I believe this was Nissan's way of increasing caster with travel. That being said; attempts at correcting camber (usually negative) by extending the arm, result in moving the tire forward. This causes rubbing against the plastic liner on full lock. This condition is then partially corrected with adjustable tension rods; resulting significant suspension geometry changes.

Perhaps it would be better (but more complicated) to shorten the lower control arm to correct camber. These are issues affecting lowered cars. For stock height, new worn parts is best and simplest approach.
