Camber can't be adjusted. One of the things I *hate* about McP struts is the horrible variable geometry they give. Front camber will change depending on front load. However, badly worn strut bearings (at the top of the struts) will give the same result. > - would the alignment problem cause such excessive wear on > these tyres? Yes it would, as would a 2500 mile trip with an overloaded front end. Any chance it was/is overloaded, hence the camber? -- Grunff
