Sounds like you have Positive Camber. Too much postive camber causes the outsides of the tires to wear faster than the insides.

usually camber kits work from -2 to +2 deg, or -3 to +3 deg
He has the ingalls kit
ive noticed your car was sitting too high, idk why, mine was never that high on stock springs
pos. camber? lol that's wierd, don't think many people on here have that problem.
the balljoint camber kits are MUCH better than the bushing style.
i had the bushing-style kit for about a year. the problem is that the rubber is cheap and wears out and then you have an upper A arm rocking around and making noise. they're not safe, they're actually kind of weak, and i would not recommend anyone get them. i had to replace them in just under a year and a half because all 4 of them were completely blown and my a arm was making a ton of noise on metal-to-metal contact.
the balljoint camber kits are far superior and i think a tech at mitsu would actually approve of these. i've had mine for almost 3 years now and they're still holding up fine. bullet proof construction, and as of 3 years they still havn't worn out.
i know you're trying to kill pos. camber for your car, in that case you install these backwards and it puts you back into the negative. but another reason why these are better than the bushing OBX-style ones is that those move out your entire upper A arm to the outside of the car when you're making your camber more neg, and if you go too much the outside of the arm actually starts hitting the material underneath the fender. noise and rubbing material results, and this is never safe. with the balljoint style camber kits, you're only moving the knuckle itself, while keeping the a arm's orientation the same.
i have the suspesion technique camber bushings that go in instead of the stock bushings and i havent had problems so far.
pos camber??? is it stock ride height or dropped cuz that doesnt sound right.. but peano thanks for showing me those camber kits cuz i need them for mine just to even it out a bit

the height is good, its not too high. Im almost positive the rear toe isnt correct. when was the last time you did an alignment. Sometimes when i go for an alignment the tech tells me that the rear toe is not adjustable, and guess what i sent the car right back.
can they fix that??? right now the tires are kinda forward in the wheel well because the bushings dont really exsist anymore. I need to get a hold of some lower control arms befor i do the bushings.... Mko you got ne hook ups?
i can get the control arms, but why the lower? usually the bushing that goes is the upper one on the spindle where the upper control arm is bolted. see if this one is bad
Im talking about the lower control arm that has the balljoint. The boots cracking and im sure its an original. So before i go spending a lot of time putting the bushing in i want one with a newer balljoint
the toe arm takes alot to be worn out, cuz there is no movement there. Its just the boot that gets dried out and falls apart. i got one of these polyurethane red boots from pepboys and put it on top of the original, so no debris gets in there, and had no problem since. the problem with these control arms is the toe bolt in the rear subframe, it gets very rusted. if you notice that bolt has a scale with degrees and this is where you can adjust the rear toe
