Default Camber problems wearing my tires down

I had my upper control arm replaced on my 93 accord. Since then my tire has wore on the inside. I had my tires rotated, and now the 'new' tire is worn on the inside too. What should I do?

I was told there are after market camber kits that may be able to fix the problem up to a few degrees. Any recomendations?

No, I'm not lowered. And I have had an alignment and my tires balanced several times. But that hasn't helped.

What kind of control arm did you get? OEM or from somewhere else?

To be honest, I'm not sure. But I doubt it's OEM--unfortunately. Ohhh, all the things we should have done...

Go get an alignment. you shouldnt need a camber kit for a stock car unless you have some unibody tweak problems
