Is the camber on the rear wheels adjustable?
Hi, thanks for writing in. Camber on the rear wheels of your vehicle is not adjustable. Your vehicle was set up at the factory with fixed negative camber in the range of one-half to to 1 degree although values as low as 0 degrees (i.e., no camber) are acceptable for certain wheel diameters.
What’s the difference between positive and negative camber tires?
Negative camber wears the inside edge of the tire, while positive camber wears the outside edge of the tire. In conjunction with toe angles, some high-negative camber vehicles don’t experience this wear characteristic, though.
What kind of Camber does a sports car have?
Sports cars may have a lot of negative camber on all four wheels, up to for better cornering. Formula 1 cars may run greater than -3.0° camber on the front tires, and -1.0° camber on the rear tires, which gives them straight-line acceleration and better cornering traction.
What causes excessive camber wear on a tire?
Excessive camber either way will cause excessive and abnormal tire wear. Negative camber wears the inside edge of the tire, while positive camber wears the outside edge of the tire. In conjunction with toe angles, some high-negative camber vehicles don’t experience this wear characteristic, though.

What causes a negative camber tire to wear?
With negative camber, the top of the wheels are leaning inward (again, by design) which lean will tend to wear the inside tread of the tire, just as you are observing. Regular rotation of the tires, every 6,000 miles, tends to minimize that effect.
What causes tire wear on the inside edges?
Tire wear on the inside edges is caused by too much negative camber or the wheels are toed out too much. Just curious about something. Were you charged for checking the alignment? Warranty will not cover an alignment unless a factory defect is repaired and the alignment check goes along with that particular repair.
