Default 91 accord camber with stock springs

I have pretty good camber on my stock struts and springs. Anyone have any idea of what would cause this? I was thinking maybe the stock springs are sagging but it doesn't ride horribly. Any ideas, suggestions are appreciated

What exactly is good camber? Theres either positive or negative.


Anyways, you should get an alignment. Bad toe causes tire wear much more than negative camber.

It is negative camber (which I know helps with handling) but with the stock suspension having camber like it is on lowering springs, I know something isn't kosher. I will end up lowering this car so I want to get any other suspension issues squared away before I do. And yes I know improper toe causes more wear then camber, I have preached that to many a person who have disagreed with me lol

Not sure exactly but it is noticeable. I would say about the same as a 1 1/2 - 2 inch drop

Youre fine man. Put some washers in the rear where the upper camber arm goes then get an alignment.


I ran 3.5 degress negative and my tires wore out pretty evenly. I had my alignment done every 6 months though.

That's the funny thing, the rears are fine. It's just the front that has camber.
