    because when you lower a car, the alignment on all wheels is thrown off when you unbolt the strut from that other thing. the camber is also thrown off, so if your wheels look like they're tilting inwards, get that fixed too!

    yepp..if lookin at the car from behind or ahead, and the wheels look like it's doing a /..............\..then you have negative camber..

    but ALWAYS get it aligned when you remove the LCA from the hub, cause the aligment is also thrown off..not only camber, but toe also, and toe will wear the tire more than camber, i had this problem on the civic, my brand new es100's were gone in 2.5 week's..not cause of camber, but cause of toe

    toe can be described easily

    stand up
    look at your feet
    your toes are the front of the car, and your heel is the rear of the car, if your left toe is closer to your right toe than the rear heel's..you have toe in..kinda simple.., if your toes are pointed outwards, you have toe out..
