I have a 2004 Civic LX with 44K miles.

I noticed the other day as I was walking to my car parked on a level surface that the drivers side tire appears to be leaning inwards (the bottom is leaning in). From searching a bit, it sounds like the camber needs adjusting. Does this sound correct? I don't really notice much in the way of bad handling or anything. Should I notice anything in the way of handling issues? Could this be related to anything else? How much does an alignment typically cost?

I did check the wheel bearings recently, so I don't think that is the issue.

Thanks

Its the camber. Do you have a drop or anything, if you do you need a camber kit. Its not bad to have the camber out though cause all it does is wear your tires out in one spot and not the hole tire.

All you need to do is get it aligned.

No drop. It's still all stock (boring, I know).

Now my LCA bushings are torn in a spots. I'm thinking I should order the ES bushing kit and have those replace as well because it might need aligning after the install of those. Do you think that sounds right?

The energy suspension bushing kit would be a good mod. I have them in my car and they work out great.

But ya all you have to do with the camber is just get it aligned.

bottom of the tire towards the center of the car? that means it's positive camber, so not realted to lowering.
is it front or rear? (sounds more that they are the fronts, rears tend to go negativeand fronts almost does not change. When i lowered mine i had -0.2 deg front and -3 rear until i put the rear camber kit.
If yours are in the fronts, there is a very limited adjustment that can be done as stock.

Now, if you changing bushings, do them before and you save an alignment. Since you informed you do not have any weird behaviour in the car, you should be ok until you change them.
