Cool Camber outta wack.

Took my car to get an alignment to make the best use of the investment of new tires, toe was corrected and all that great stuff but rear camber was way outta spec (-1.8,-1.9) for stock suspension.

Damn you Houston roads. Anyway, any recommendations for adjustable rear camber arms, decent priced. As expected, manufactures are often vague with specs and what not. Anyone actually using them that adjusted as much as i need would really be helpful.

you're fine! out of wack toe is what causes tire wear.
if toe was corrected, you'll be fine....as camber spec is i believe up to...-1.7...so you're .1 out.

source- houstonian with out of spec camber and i dont want a camber kit right now. but my toe is on point and I do not ever have tire wear

I bet it was your toe out of spec that ate the tires, not the camber
