Hi all, I've been having this problem with my rear camber. As you can see in the two pics, both tires are wearing unevenly. The one looks like it was run underinflated and I can assure you (unless my tire guage was playing games with me) that I check my tire pressure regularly. Parts I've replaced so far, whether or not they will affect the rear camber, are the beer cans, dog bones, and bombs. With each part I replace it seems to get a little better, and after I replaced the bombs, the wheels seemed to be running at the same camber (at least closer to the same camber). The only parts left that I plan on replacing are the rear strut mounts. Before I replace the tires, I want to replace all the nessesary parts, hence I am asking for some feedback and suggestions on what else to check and fix/replace.

When I got the car, I noticed the LAD had been dropped to a very low setting, which I have since corrected...I'm wondering if this may have done some damage?






Invariably, someone is probably going to ask, and the answer is No. I haven't been driving the car for almost a year now, for personal reasons unrelated to this issue, but also since I noticed the tires in the condition they are in.

Thanks all for help and feedback.
