i'm havin major camber wear on driver-side rear wheel someone advise me
i have a 93 civic dx sedan. i recently slammed it with a 2.5 inch drop with progress springs. i'm currently running stock 13 inch DX rims with size 70 tires. i'm having major camber wear on my driver-side rear wheel BUT its not from the drop--i've had this problem before with my stock springs (rear driver side wheel had a bad or bent spring "might be reason but not sure"). i'm wondering what i should do and a couple of ppl have suggested 1. get new aftermarket shocks on both rear wheels or 2. get camber kit for rear. any of you guys out there know hwo to fix this problem? any advice is appreciated.
oh and if i get new shocks, what brands would you trust? do camber kits matter much as in the brand, if any (not sure)? thx

Re: i'm havin major camber wear on driver-side rear wheel someone advise me (93 EJ1)
i went to a place called "just tires" and asked for an alignment but the guy there said an alignment wont even move all four tires a centimeter without a "special camber kit". i'm not really worried bout the all four wheel alignment, just that particular driver-side rear wheel is all. **** is ANGLED!!!
and oh, whats the WASHER TRICK? plz be specific i'm kinda new at this.

i believe what the person who stated "check the alignment" is getting at is that you may have a toe problem causing the tire wear...
the "washer trick" places washers behind the control arms to push the top of the wheel out effectively creating less camber...

get the alignment and that should give you a good idea of what needs to be done.
