Tires are going bald...wtf??
damn, I just noticed today my front right tire is going bald on the outside. Is that negative camber or what?? I had an alignment a couple months ago, and I have hayame full suspension, w/ camber kit. I don't get it... How can I get negative camber? Someone help me out. Thanks

I have B&Gs and do not have that problem. Sounds like you may even have positive camber wear. Negative camber wear is when your tires wear out more on the inside.
You can tell whether it's toe or positive camber by looking at the way it is wearing down. Bad toe would cause a type of "feathering" wear. This is where you see raised and low spots on the part that outer edge wearing down. This is because bad toe causes your tire to skip. Hence, some parts of that edge is high and some low.
Positive camber would result in the same spot wearing down, but more evenly instead of that up and down wearing.
Oh, and to add one thing. Did you possibly hit any potholes or nasty road conditions. It may easily cause misalignment.
