Hey everyone, I have a question in regards to my 2001 acura e.l. (pretty much, the same thing as the 2001 civic sedan). I have negative camber in my front wheels and as a result my tires are wearing from the inside shoulder. Anyways I will be bring it into TNT honda friday, for a wheel alignment, and I was wondering if the alignment will correct the problem?

I have read on other websites that sometimes the front camber are NOT adjustable. My car is not lowered, nor do i have a camber kit installed. So, I was wondering are they adjustable on my STOCK 01 acura 1.7 el?


Thank- you in advance!

Thats strange it's wearing like you've lowered it, They should be able to correct the problem at the dealership if it's not modded.

If you're not lowered, an alignment should fix it. Could be toe-out that's causing the tires to wear like that. Weird that you're getting what seems like negative camber wear on an unmodified suspension.

Since, both of you mentioned that it is strange/werid for a unmodded suspension to cause what seems like negative camber wear, is there a high probability that the problem lie else where such as worn steering componts or other parts?

Worn suspension pieces, crappy tires, balance... Pick one :nut:
