does anybody else have this problem? i have a 2001 daewoo lanos and it where the front right tire out on the inside is there anyway to fix this? besides frame straighting, mine onmy needs a degree of positive camber, any help would be appreiciated
I had my camber on my Lanos sorted at the local Tiger Wheel & Tyre (Manufacturers of TSW rims)
They had to use a hydraulic machine to "bend" the strut.

I had mine adjusted at a local tire shop...they just did an alignment however they couldn't adjust the rear which is what I wanted. They said the rear had no provisions for being adjusted. When I lower it I am going to use some shims to adjust it so that the tire sits straight (provided it is deemed a good idea). Right now both tires have an angle towards the middle of the car...instead of 90 degrees from the road they sit at about 87 or 88 degrees I believe. Not much angle but it does show on the tire wear...the inside edge wears much more quickly than the outside.

no matter what you do not need to use shims or adjust the back at all, the camber is set like that from the factory for good reason.
what you need for the is a strut mount camber kit, here is stefans.
