does anyone else that has a 3 notice if their rear tires tilted in ward at the top kinda like / (driverside) \ (passangerside), i met a guy at my school how had just bought a new 3 sedan like mine, from the same dealer and he pointed it out to me, and i noticed it on mine, he even had exessive tire wear on the inside of the two rear tires, and he only had the car for 2 or 3 weeks.
shag' :cool:
 
Its called negative camber. Most autocrossers would KILL to have a car that had a couple degree's of camber from the factory.

Excessive tire wear? Are you sure your not just imagining it? My RX7 and Protege both have a fairly decent amount of camber and, yes, the insides wear quicker, but not before the outside is really warn out. In order to tell 100% that you have quicker wear you NEED to use a tread-depth gauge. It may LOOK like you have a lot of wear, but really don't.

RX7= -1.5 deg camber
MSP= -1.1 deg camber
3=? Don't know yet, won't know till people start getting alignments

ALL cars have negative camber... NO CAR has wheels perfectly vertical.... some just more than others.

Actually, thats incorrect. ALL live axle cars have 0 camber on the solid axle. In the case of a Jeep Wrangler, both axles have 0 camber.
