bad camber on a STOCK height car??
my guess is that something is bent. You might want to look at your suspension components and see if anything is obviously bent. Also, look for sagging bushings.
If your car is truely at stock height, something is wrong. I would suggest fixing this before proceeding to anything else.
One question, is it the same on both sides?

yes they are both the same on both sides. one thing I JUST noticed... my rear cross member is cracked. not completely but only on the bottom side. its not fully cracked. im assuming this is whats doing it. get back to me please.
mine is stock too and is wearing the insides of the tires real bad. just finished swap so extra weight is not a factor. it hasnt done this the 5years ive had the car until this last year.
As far as the cracked cross member, I would guess that this is what is causing the negative camber.
bluecrxsi, I wouldn't be so sure that camber is the cause of your problem. Through my reading, I have learned that cars can have some camber and not have a lot of excess tire wear IF the toe is set correctly. Toe is the amount the wheels point together while driving down the road, if you didn't know. You might want to go to an alignment shop and have them check your toe, it is a killer.

Bad camber is also possible if you have swapped engines. The extra weight of a B-motor will compress the suspension somewhat, giving you negative camber.
could be that the springs (if they r stock) are so old that they are sagging.
but go to a tire shop and get your camber and tow checked first.
like previously stated it is quite possible that your tow is way out.
and get your crossmember changed.
