negative camber question
 
My CRX has been lowered on springs and KYB's for about 2 years now, and its never had any unsightly camber. A small amount but nothing serious. Anyways today I noticed that one of my rear tires (passenger) has developed some ugly negative camber. Has something bent? I'm hoping I can correct this without having to buy a camber kit. I dont have any serious weight in the rear, just a red Optima battery. Any helpfull advise is appreciated, thanks.

Only one tire seems to have a problem? It's got the same miles the other tires do right? Thats odd...

I just didn't know if for whatever reason the rear tires were worn/ "going bald" and the front's maybe newer and there could have been a problem all along but your just now starting to see it with the worn out tires. But thats not the case. A camber kit would be a good thing to look into, but I've had some pretty mean camber on my vehichles and driven them for quite a while without any signs of severe tire or alignment problems. I'm talking slammed with no camber kits :o

Sounds like something is messed up. If not though, you can usually adjust the rear camber with longer bolts and a spacer/washers.

yea, check out all the bushings, if they arn't the problem, do the old washer trick, then get an alignment, bad toe will make camber issues alot worse.

Check the coil spring they tend to break on hondas once they get old. Sounds like something broke did you check you rear strut bolt and bushing.
