Camber at -2 will wear down your tires. Toe will also matter. But if your surface area and road contact are only 75%. The other 25% is going to be wear from camber.

All the suspension experts put much more stress on toe than camber as far as tire wear is concerned.

I've seen camber barely accelerate the wear of a tire, but I've seen toe eat tires up in a matter of weeks.

Plus, the originator of the thread said he's only got -1deg of camber.

So how would someone go about adjusting the toe? Cause I'm having a huge problem with my tires going fast, which JUST recently started happening. There has been a ton of freeway work around here and I drive over it 5-6 days a week to work, and I think its knocked everything out of wack.

After you make your measurements, adjust the tie-rod after you break the lock nut free. When you get down in there it should be obvious.
