Default Fixing camber? HELP!!!

Basiclly what I am trying to find out is how to fix camber. I have a 95 Civic Ex Coupe w/ B18c1 if that really matters. I recently changed my tires they were completly worn on the inner part of the tire(front only). I had a wheel alignment done today and was told that the camber and the caster were off and there was no way to adjust it. I dont know if I am right or anything but I thought I saw on the board ways to fix it.

Thanks in advance guys

i don't see why you should have a camber problem if your car is stock height

I had inner wear on one of my tires when I got my car, too. I figure either the car was dropped before I got it, or the wheels were on a different car that was dropped at some point. With stock suspension, just get an alignment and you should have no more camber wear problems other than whats already worn on your tires.

toe is the biggest comcern when it comes to tire wear!!!! if the inside of your tires were totlly wasted most likely you cars front end was toe'd way out which will show as a -number also if it was only a little out and you never rotated your tires they could be trashed just as easy... type in your alignment print out so we can see the whole truth....

it is possible that the car has been wrecked before?????
