Camber out of adjustment on front right only
I was replacing a wheel sensor and noted that my right ( passenger side NA ) tire was wearing on the inside edge. Left side is normal. Ny local shop says the camber is off on that side but they don't know why or how to adjust it. Any insight or ideas ?
Check the top shock mount first, then the lower shock bushing.
Take the measurement from the center of the wheel to the top of the curve in the arch of the wheel. If lower than 15 inches, good chance one or both of the above problems are what needs attention.

Barry, to give you an idea of the condition of the bad one, have a look at the good side at the top. Right above the spring is a plate it rides on and above that a foam, rubber, sponge looking bushings. If worn it will only be 1/4 inch or less wide between that spring plate and the top of the mount. It would be in the 1/2-inch (13MM) range if still in a serviceable condition.
Now look at the side with a problem and if in that 1/4 inch (8MM) or less, sometimes not even something you can see any distance between the plates.
Hope that helps.
