Was sitting down enjoying the banter yesterday, looked over at my car to take some pictures and noticed the camber looked out. Went over, and the front near side (passenger side?) tyre looks like it has some uneven wear.

What do you guys think?






If the camber is out, what would be causing it? Is it the case of adjusting i.e. labour, or some new parts as well?

The front passenger side wheel. The alloy looks straight, but the tyre doesn't?!

Just been and had it checked. The mechanic I always go to put it on the ramp, got a crow bar, and tried bending/moving things. He said everything is fine, might be worth getting the tracking done. He even grabbed hold of the wheels trying to pull them off and there isn't any play.

May be it's because it's a 12v, therefore no weight on the front. Then when it has a driver and passenger, the camber is sorted = weight

is it not a odd reflection from the wet surface? optical illusion playing mind tricks?
