Camber Bolts ?

So I took my car into the stealership due to pre-mature wear on the crappy dunlops that they give us. They try and tell me that the wear is due to spirited driving and is normal. I try to tell them that there wasn't enough "spirited" driving to cause that much wear. Besides the fact that it's only the fronts and not the rears that have this kind of wear. They go on to tell me that only the rear toe adjustment was out. Also that my cross camber is out and they would need to install camber bolts to be able to bring to perfect.

My question is what would cause cross camber to be out in the 1st place to need the bolts to line it back up ? Would it not be the sign of another problem since Mitsu didn't install adjustable bolts in the 1st place ?

The alignments on our cars from the factory are horrible. Most people have had to replace all four tires before hitting 20,000 miles due to inner edge wear.

^^^ this is true! My RA came with yokohamas and were replaced before 20k. Its sad! Camber bolts are a good buy either way you look at it but I thought were only needed if lowered.

Sorry I can't really answer your question, but I do have 2x camber kits available if you're interested. I had enough adjustment with my camber plates. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
