    Looks like you might need to remove a few shims from the upper control arm .:Brow: I had the same troubles for awhile.:af: :Dou:

    Just a few. :pp might give it to the mob down the road from me. They have the machines to deal with it. I will just give them my keys, $400 and say see you this arvo....

    Check the control arm bushings and make sure they're not wearing through.

    Turn them tires around on the rims and you can go another 1000 miles with them. :idea2: I see lots of people down here driving around with tires like that. I thought that was normal wear?

    I disagree

    I say you have a severe toe- out problem.

    dude, NO 'stock' suspension should have enough camber that the tire lean is obvious. there may be a toe problem, but the camber is way excessive.

    heck, his RF has enough camber to go circle track racing....

    I noticed that the top of my tire on the LF is leaning out
    too many shims??
