#32852, "How to approach aligment place if I know I have camber problems"
Hello,
It's been a long time since I posted on here...
My car chewed up the inside of my passenger front tire. So if go for an alignment I will hear the story about how the front camber is not adjustable. There are some SPC parts I can by to make front adjustable... but obviously I don't know how much adjustment I need so I can't buy anything now. How should I approach this problem to pay least money?
BTW car drives perfectly straight... and I checked all ball joints... everything is in top shape.
Is my best approach as follows: 1 Get the car to alignment... pay $65 2 Listen to tech about how camber is not adjustable. 3 Ask how much adjustment needed. 4 Order appropriate part from SPC $?? 5 Pay for install ~$65 6 Do alignment again ... another $65
Any questions suggestions and additional thoughts are welcome...

Thank you all for responses.
Since I just did a bearing replacement, the shop was kind enough to check the alignment for free. I don't have the print out, but I was told I have about +1 to +1.5 positive camber. However the inside of the front tires was wearing out, how is that possible?
I have BDG Traction tires which are directional, so for now I remounted the front tires so that the other side of the tire is wearing out and I will have to think about what to do next.
Any suggestions are welcome.

If you have positive camber but the inside of the tires is wearing then you probably have too much toe out. Toe settings wear tires way faster than camber.
