Message There is some good advice here, and I especially like CHUNG's questions. I'm still baffled though, because 1 degree or so of camber should not cause such dramatic wear as you see. I have two more tidbits of advice.

First, if you get an opportunity where somebody is driving their car in tandem with yours, ask them to drive a little behind you (in your blind spot, essentially) and see if your front tires are vibrating, wobbling, or "dribbling" up and down. That could be caused by a bent wheel or bad shock, which you can often feel but sometimes not.

Second, if you do a lot of highway driving, you might set your camber to essentially 0 degrees all around. (Nixit is a big proponent of doing this.) You probably won't notice a difference but your tires will (and maybe your mpg also).
