Have your wheels balanced and get an alignment done on the front.

It's not because of your camber.
Most likely it's due to the tires/wheels being out of balance. Sometimes they can actually be balanced correctly, but if care is not taken while installing the wheels, the wheels can end up ever so slightly off-center (this sounds far fetched, but it's true). Several people on the SE-R list have corrected such problems using my wheel attachment procedure: When installing the wheels, finger tighten the first lug nut while moving the wheel around slightly. Finger tighten the second nut and if the wheel moves around, move it around while tightening as well. You shouldn't be able to wiggle the wheel once the first one is tightened, and absolutely not after the second. Finger tighten the remaining lug nuts and tighten with a wrench with the wheel in the air (you won't be able to tighten them all the way by any means). Lower the wheel to the ground and torque to spec. This has been quite successful in the past. If this doesn't work, get your tires/wheels balanced again and use the tightening procedure above. If this doens't work, the problem is in your suspension. Something is loose/sloppy. It could be caused by worn bushings, worn balljoints, or worn tie-rod ends. It's even possible it could be caused by worn tie-rods, but that's not very likely.
