what would cause my front pass. tire to get more wear then the rest ?
when you lower your car i thought both sides would get equal camber
what would cause my front passenger tires to just get eaten up so fast
is it that i need a camber kit ?
other suspension issue ?
can anyone recomend good/cheap front camber kit ?
and yes i know the words "good and cheap " dont go together... but work with me here
thanks for any help HT

I kinda got the same question although my car is at stock height and all 4 tires are already eaten away on the inside edge, as if I had dropped it a lot and had nasty camber. The conclusion I came up to was that the trailing arm bushings are what caused the rear tires to be eaten away (because they are torn) and the rotation ate the front as well. But could there be anything else besides that?

Negative camber, for the most part, does not trash tires NEARLY as much as excessive toe does.
To both people asking questions in this thread: get the car aligned. That should alleviate most of your tire wear problems. If you still have issues, you likely have worn bushings that are preventing the suspension from maintaining proper geometry throughout its range of motion.
And no, you will NEVER have equal alignment angles for any angle that is non-adjustable. As long as metal is flexible and can bend and twist, those readings will always be different at all 4 corners if it's not factory adjustable (i.e. camber and front caster). To the OP, you likely have excessive toe-out on the corner that is wearing the worst.
