89 CIVIC wheel alignment!!!
I am ignorant when it comes to my honda. My front tires are wearing out in the inside, i took to wheel alignment shop and they said that there was no more adjustment. what suspension parts do I need to replace on the front end to get those tires flat, and tighten up my suspension? it drives pretty good except when it is windy.
thanks,
B

how can there be "no more adjustment"?
theres PLENTY of adjustment in the fronts.
if theres not, then your car is way out of whack. probably bent arms but itd be noticable if there was no more adjustment left.
take it to another competent shop.

the only factory adjustments you have, are rear toe, and front toe
rear camber can be adjusted by shims, front camber can be adjusted with aftermarket adj. ball joints or adj upper arms.
when you have no more adjustment, you have worn parts or something is bent.
in the front you only really have toe adjustment from the factory
caster may be adjusted possibly like accords with shims in your strut rods. the arms going from your lower control arm to your front crossmember, camber is not adjustable from the factory.
hope that helps.
