I've just put some camber bolts in the top holes of the hubs, they've been tightened up with the little metal print facing towards the wheel. The inside edges of my tyres are shot because of the camber, I've put them in but don't know if its made a difference.. I need two new tyres and it needs tracking... Will the garage be able to sort my camber whiles doing my tracking or is there something I need to do?
Any help or advice please guys?. I've got a corsa b sport 1.6 on a w plate 2000

Tyres were probably ruined by the tracking being out rather than camber.
A good garage should be able to set the camber, and then the tracking.

Bought it off a mate he said it was the camber the tracking isn't to bad just ever so slightly out, put the bolts in just no sure if its made a difference... No idea how to tell either..

You need to get it aligned then now the camber is adjustable.

Try find a garage with hunter alignment gear.. Sounds like yours is low so most places will struggle getting the gauges on the tyre. Hunter system clamps to the wheel and can set up camber. Most kwik fits are getting them now

4 wheel alignment with Hunter DSP gear as Edges says - does wonders.

As already said go find a place that uses a hunter alignment machine. Its amazing. Ive had mine set up on one many times and my tyres are fine, i even had the camber set up how i wanted it ( -1degree of camber) on the front then the tracking set and my car is low.
