Default Tyre wear prob

Hi All
just a q looked in FAQ (and i do not allways understand the American Lingo)

My left rear tyre is wearing unevenly on the outside (Camber is out dont know if it is - or +_)

the local honda dealers said it is swing arm bushes that needs replacing and is charging R2800.00ex vat (430 $ us per side ) is there another way of correcting the problem. Read about whasers and camber kit is this the right way of doing it

Thanks
From South Africa
ps:97 hatch

Your tire is wearing on the outside? and only on one side? You didnt like slide into a curb or anything did you? Honda's charactaristically have negative camber problems when you lower them, but you car has a sign of positive camber. Seems like something is bent.
