I am getting some camber on the rear wheels - slightly more on the passenger side, then on the drivers’s side. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? I dont know if this makes a diff, but the car is on 17’s. I got the alignment report and says that I have -2.2 vs - 1.9 Any ideas why or how I can fix this? Thanks ---

what kind of suspention do you have? most common problem is one side sits lower than the other and that will cause more camber on the lower side. also check lower control arm ball joints. ---

adjust the stock rear camber bolt…not that hard. and if it’s to savere, buy the camber correction bushing for the rear for $50 or whatever it costs, then have the car aligned properly. ---

That camber correction bushing you talk about, how much adjustment can you get out of it? I have a '97 with sportlines (1.7" drop) and no camber kit. Will those bushings work for me, or do I need camber plates? I am thinking that camber plates are the way to go anyways, but input is appreciated. Also, What brand is recommended for plates? cost / quality ---

Raise your car back to stock height? Othet than that no… Just rock the camber guys it’s not that bad of wear on the back, unless you do hardcore burnouts. Taking it to the track or heck even driving it hard keeps a nice helthy wear balance. If you had no camber you would have balding/rouded outter tread. ---

the car sees a lot of hwy kms, so I guess I’ll wait see how the wear goes. ---

> [@Doggie Dog](#): > > LOL… its not the toe… b/c its perfect How do you know its perfect? And why would you camber be off if you are at stock height ? 2.0 isn’t very extreme at all, shouldn’t give you any serious wear problems. ---

My concern is why its off, and the car is at stock height… Its not that its alot, but its not in the given stock camber range (-36 - 1.36) ---

I’m running -3.2 camber in the rear and the wear is very even. Uneven “camber wear” is most often caused by bad toe settings. If your camber is the same on both sides (at -2.2), I wouldn’t worry about what caused it as long as there are no other problems with your suspension.
