I was hoping to get some idea's on what I need to do to fix the camber on the rear wheels of my 96 240, 5-lug.  The inside of the toyo tires are bald after 3 months.  

If anyone has any information, installing guides, or had this issue after you put lowering springs on (Eibach Pro-kit)  Please contact me to let me know the best way to fix this.

Thanks,

you could also slot the mount for the upper tie-rod. &nbsp;If I could get the bolt off, that's what I'd do. &nbsp;I slotted one of the front strut mounts and that worked perfectly. &nbsp;I'd imagine the rear would have the same results.

Have you had an alignment done? &nbsp;There is a small amount of adjustability in the stock rear end. &nbsp;At the same time, if you are having that much wear, I'm guessing other problems exist. &nbsp;I have a similar drop and have noticed no adverse wear patterns. &nbsp;Toe in or toe out may be to blame as well (combined with camber they could kill some tires pretty quick). &nbsp;Your best bet is to go get an alignment ~$50 to figure out the problem and determine how much adjustment is needed. &nbsp;The alignment alone may fix the problem. &nbsp;Better than spending $300 on adjustable CA's that don't fix the problem. &nbsp;Speaking of which, I still need an alignment.

Look at the correction bushings on this page, they're supposed to help. &nbsp;
