History,
a) Lowered my car last winter 2.5+ front and back wit shocks/springs.
b) Did NOT put a camber it in
c) FR Right tire has been rubbing with something causing bad handling and an indent on the inside part of the tire.
d) apparently my driveshaft was crappy and so i had it replaced
e) since, i've notices the car is more stable, BUT steering is tighter - harder - weirder. I think the tire is rubbing with the car.
QUESTION: SHOULD I INSTALL A CAMBER TO FIX PROBLEM?

Its hard to say wether a camber kit would solve your problem because it wouldn't change theposition of the wheel all that much unless you have horrible camber issues before adding the kit. You have to identify whats rubbing with the wheel before you can stop it from rubbing. But whatever it is must be substantial if tis causing an indentation on your tire.
And btw, if the rubbing is leaving a noticable groove on the rubber then you have a bit of a problem and you probably wanna get it checked out before it causes a blowout. Thin tire walls are NEVER good
