Message	The camber wasn't the issue, the tire wear was. You can have a degree excessive negative camber and suffer no ill straight-line handling effects (with positive effects on cornering). He hydroplaned due to lack of tire tread, which was caused by non-replacement of worn tires - a symptom of excessive camber. The lack of tire tread created the unsafe condition, and could have been remedied by tire replacement - thus you cannot argue that a camber kit necessarily would have prevented this accident. You initial statement was not incorrect, as you suggested it to be a possible solution with the same replacement periodicity - but it is a "stretch." The direct cause of the accident of lack of tire tread, not excessive negative camber. Recursively Yours, Kenny... PETZ Member #5
