How to adjust camber the strut tower?
 
The previous owner of my fb wrote in camber numbers on the strut tower at each of the four nuts and said you could adjust something to run any of those numbers.How do I adjust it and know which one its at? My car is eating the inside of my front tires stupid fast.I bought some tires with 85% tread and within about 3k miles the insides were showing the steel belts but the outsides were still perfect. I tried to search but I cant find it. Thanks for the help!

You have to remove those four nuts, lower the strut assembly and rotate the strut mount to achieve different caster/camber. Make note of the possition when you started too little caster will make it really hard to keep straight at speed

Not sure about FB's but SA's have a small arrow molded right in the rubber at the top of the strut mount. It points at one of the bolts. That way you know what position your in as you rotate the mount. Ft inside / Ft outside / R inside / R outside.

The actual amount of adjustment available by turning the mount is very small. Not nearly enough to have that kind of an effect on your tires.

Time for a free alignement check at Sears. :)
