RE: camber adjustment
the only way to adjust camber on your car is going to be if you get a camber adjustment kit (about $200.00 for the front I believe...) however, + or - 1 degree is considered acceptable, if you get over that amount your tires are going to wear really unevenly

RE: camber adjustment
thanks a lot i checked that my camber is between -.5 to -1 or maybe -1.1. lets see i had honda align my vehicle they thought i needed a new steering knuckle, as did tires plus when i went to tires plus first in june, but i said no to tires plus. so, honda stole money from me but i didn't feel like going back as the next place i went to after the dealer aligned my car before i got some new tires. so, finally yesterday i went and got my tires aligned from sears. they did an excellent job! plus a 6 month warranty! my car would pull to the right a lot, so i know that the second place tried to get an alignment right but didn't do as good a job.
wow 3 alignments in one year! i think i am good for 3 years!
p.s. on my car the steering is supposed to pull a little to the left after an alignment. but the steering wheel feels tight again which is nice!

RE: camber adjustment
1999 Honda Accord EX 128,000 miles. I will have to post the results sometime later, as they are not with me right now. But, I believe it was lightshow or you that said camber is not adjustable. My camber was off a degree or so. Anyways, I was reading something in Google groups last night about some people having to replace a lot of tires due to camber problems. Well, if my camber has been off for so long and the car is on its 3rd set of tires. I would say that's not bad. It was driven in Chicago on hard roads with agressive driving style before I took over the ship.
I mainly drive highway miles. And, I have checked the tires and haven't seen any visible wear. Any idea on how many 32nds a new tire has? I bought these BF Goodrich tires a month ago or a little over a month ago, and they have 10/32nds wear on them, and I know when you get down to 2/32nds, that's the time to replace them.
