SUZI's ZUKI,

Unless you have hit something, the camber bolts are not needed, and negative camber slightly out of spec is NOT the cause of the tire wear.

Excessive toe in on the rear is the root cause.

Make sure the alignment shop sets the rear toe as close to the minimum spec as possible (2.6mm+/-2mm, so go for 0.6mm toe in). This will fix the tire wear issue.

The small amount of negative camber on the rear is not going to cause outside tire wear (negative camber will cause inside tire wear). Only too much toe in will eat up the outside of the tire. The use of aftermarket camber bolts are not recommended by Suzuki, and can cause more trouble then good in the long run.
