Guys,
I have a slight problem. It seems that my camber is out of adjustment on the front of my 98 GS-T. I have no modifications to my suspension, but the alignment shop says that I will continue to eat the inside edge off of my tires until they can get the problem corrected. Has anyone else had this problem, and how do you correct it? The shop could not locate any "shims" to correct the problem.

Thanks for the replies in advance.

[ Almost forgot, the car olny has 37K miles on it.]

that's funny i was just about to post the exact same problem. i can easily see a good amount of negative camber on mine and i have stock springs still. i hope somebody out there knows which part needs replacement. can stock springs go bad after so many miles and sag? just curious

After lowering my car with Eibach Prokit,
I experienced extreme inside tire wear. After some investigation, I found out the problem was that the wheels had toe out. A good alignment job did take care of the problem. Extreme uneven tire wear is more due to toe than camber.

Go to a good shop that does wheel alignemnt and ask them to fix the toe.
