passenger side front tire wear

My 2005 is beginning 2 wear the tire 2 the inside. Had 2 replace the bearing strut bracket but seem 2 still b wearing. I was not able 2 find any kind if adjustment for alignments and was told that there is no alignment to adjust in the car. When u replace the bearing bracket it is suppose 2 set back 2 factory spec. Anyone had or having this problem? Dont want 2 waste money on an alignment if u cant do one.

Just 2 let everyone know...............ordered manufac. repair manual and u can ajust the toe and camber on the car.......the bearing strut bracket adjusts the camber......but u can only rotate 180 degrees and it will change align by (.5) degrees

Re: passenger side front tire wear

If you have a 4 foot level place at the same place on both front wheels. Are they both even. Then use a couple of cans new full ones out of the pantry.
Measure between the center rib on the tire front and back the cans are to keep the measure level. They should be slightly smaller on the front appx. 1/16 inch.
http://www.amazon.com/ SPC makes many alignment products so you can align your vehicle.
Search SPC alignment parts.
