Default Allignment/Suspension problems

So i've got a serious negative camber problem in the front, the insides of my tires are completely bald and the outsides have a ton of tread. I was reading that since the camber isn't adjustable that there must be another problem causing this i assume with the suspension.

I was wondering if you guys knew of any typical suspension problems that would cause some serious negative camber. Ive owned the car for a year and about 5 months ago i noticed the ride got much rougher, and going over bumps i heard a clunking noise now. I was thinking blown struts or bushings ro something but i dont know too much about these cars so im not sure of what kinds of problems they get.

The car is a 2000 LX 4 cyl Vtec with 97,000 miles.

Toe can wear the inside and outside of the tire also and it looks pretty much the same as chamber. I would suggest inspecting the suspension and getting an alignment check. If it was from an accident it is usually just be one side depending on what they hit.

The last set of tires I replaced on my 1995 Accord looked like that and it was a toe problem but you won’t know until it is checked. Do the wheels look to have negative camber if you look at them from the front of your car?
