Toe is killing your tires. Not camber.

The car might be in spec on the rack, but when you sit in it, it throws the alignment off.


They really should do it when your sitting in the car.

You may have a torn bushing in a control arm or something. Are the front or rear tires wearing that way? No...there aren't camber bolts for 88-00 civics.

Nothing modified its all stock toe and camber according to alignment specs are with in . The rear i have adjustable upper and dont get any tire wear all tho lower one i cant adjust cause bolt is frozen in and will break so i cant adjust toe at rear unless a cut a piece from frame so i could put a bolt and nut there with adjustable lower.
