Should I get the camber kit?

Hello all,

I just found out that my passenger rear tire worn only inner wall.
So the noise was crazy when I drive on highway.

I went to do the alignment and got new sets of tires and the guy at the shop told me
that the alignment will not fix the problem.
Our car camber can not be adjusted by alignment.

My car is not lowered or anything on suspension mode except the Progress sway bar.

Do I have to get the camber kit? if I get it which shop do I have to go to...

Thanks in advance...

If you don't have any suspension/wheel modifications besides a strut bar you don't need a camber kit.

Re: Should I get the camber kit?

could be a blown shock causing tire wear. same happened to me and one tire was almost bald when the other 3 had lots of tread. but if the shop says they cant align your car, thats something different and you should find a better shop.
