Hello all, got a few questions. Is there a way to adjust the headlights? I've got a '01, I looked all under the hood around the headlights, but did not see anything that looked like it could adjust the headlights. I need to bring mine up and seperate them, they are really out of wack for some reason.
Secondly, I put new front brakes on the other day, and noticed that the inner edge of my passenger front tire was worn much more than anywhere else, including the other front tire. The car tracks straight down the road, and steering wheel is straight, is there a camber adjustment for these cars that could fix this?
Thanks for all your help!

there are 2 screws on top of the headlight that allow you to aim them (not much though)
your tire wear problem is possibly due to a bent suspension component, most shops don't check camber.

Is the camber adjustable? I know the car has been in an accident, but I've crawled under the car several times (oil changes, and tranny fluid change), and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. It also makes a wirring noise from that same side, which I thought was bad wheel bearing, but there is no play in the tire when lifted off the ground (side to side or up and down), which should rule that out, and its only got 37K miles on it.

Have the wheels aligned at a shop. The shop should be able to tell you what is bent, damaged, or worn. Doesn't take much in a collision to bend something.
