Camber / alignment issue?

JustinP · 04-14-2017, 08:01 PM

Did a bit of research so I'm pretty sure this is a camber issue but would like confirmation. The outside of the rear tire is worn while the inside is practically new.

So an alignment will fix? Will I need to tell them specifically to adjust the camber?

This is a toe setting issue. Camber issues are normally inside tire wear problems.

Something is definitely off. It's the inside of the rear tires that normally wear first given the slight negative camber.

Toe not camber. Alignment rack time.

So a decent tire place that does alignments will know how to fix this, right?

Any place that calls themselves an alignment shop should be able to do it. Some are much better than others. Ask friends, family, and the Internet for recommendations.

Or just take it to the dealership if you have a rep/tech you trust.
