Alignment issues!

I installed adjustable arms and can't seem to get rid of the drift with my trim adjustment.

I made sure to match the arm off of the stock ones prior to installing them.

Look at the pics below and let me know what you think.

To me the right looks good, but the left is all out of whack.

I would camber the rear wheels then camber the fronts then align and I would do it on a hard surface turn it on go backwards then foward and recheck or buy a alignment tool
 
It's difficult to determine the exact nature of your issue. The front wheels on a car will typically have a few degrees of "toe-in" which means that they won't align perfectly with the rear wheels. Just looking at the photos it appears that you have the front end steering slightly to the left. The right appears to have a little too much toe-in and the left has none (or even slight toe-out). Trim your steering back to the right just slightly.

Even so, I've noticed that my AMP's steering is very vague compared to my Boost. Those fat tires are just all over the place and I'm constantly compensating. So I just drive faster all the time and it doesn't matter. :D

+1 for the camber gauge. A necessity of you're going to run adjustable camber links. I recommend the RPM model: http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/shop/tools/precision-camber-gauge/

You can find RPM stuff at many local hobby shops. Maybe call around first, then order.
