Rear camber options.
I need affordable aftermarket solutions for fixing the rear camber on my GL. What have you used that works. Last time I was in tow it ate up the tires. In the front we have some wear but it’s manageable. Rear is unreasonably silly. I need tires for a safety inspection but don’t want to destroy them without getting camber near neutral.

You want camber adjustment in the rear. Toe adjustment is the smaller offender as it relates to tire wear. And toe adjustment on the rear axle is getting into deeper waters as it relates to high speed vehicle stability.
Consider an accident avoidance lane change at highway speed with a heavy vehicle load. This is the situation for which rear suspension alignment is designed, as it relates to stability. Changing OEM camber and toe has an affect on high speed vehicle stability.

I remember seeing the old ML with camber so far out of range I question the safety of them, they look like getting ready to transform into flying mode ala back to the future.
