Then something is bent or broke. There is No adjustments for camber on the TL without having a camber kit. Id suggest bringing it to a good alignment shop and have them look at the car to see whats wrong

Yes, as is the case with most hondas.

OP, if your camber is off enough that you can see it with your eyeball, something must be broken and a camber kit won't help. Normally, a camber kit only gives you a couple of degrees of adjustment, which isn't something you can really tell by just looking at the tire.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I just had my rear camber kit installed and it completely took away that butterfly effect and my rear wheels/tires are straight up and down, instead of bowed in. Then again, I am lowered which adds to the butterfly effect. In his case, it does sound like something is out of whack.

But a camber kit worked wonders for me. Ingalls 38720 rear kit x 2
