    Mech another thread about wheel alignment...camber issue

    recently have noticed that my left front tire has worn out more than the right one, so i have decided to have the wheel alignment checked, it was anyway the case as the coilovers have been also installed. So far i did rotate the tires every 6-7k miles, about 3 times now, i've done so far about 18k miles with the Michelin PS3 and still have a lot of tread left, i would say at least 50% so i'm very happy with these tires.

    Went today for the wheel alignment and obviously, as i expected, the front left side camber is out of specs and they told me that it can't be adjusted, they were blaming the lower control arm but i think is just an excuse...does anyone know the procedure on how to adjust the front camber?

    Reading on the forum it looks like others have also reported the same problem with the front left side tire which is wearing out quicker than the right one, on the inside, is this by design or is there anything that can be done?

    They also couldn't properly adjust the toe on the front, blaming the left tie rod which couldn't be screwed/unscrewed to the right point, being seized after a certain point, i would kind of believe this since they haven't been replaced for a very long time....what do you say?
