Positive rear camber on left side of my car, possibly the rear. Am I screwed?

Alignment - Positive camber on left side of my car, possibly on the rear. Am I screwed?

I've noticed - while repairing another tire puncture (thanks to whoever keeps dropping screws/nails along my route to work!) - uneven tire wear on both tires on the left side of the car. The part of the tire facing out (away from the center of the car) is really worn down. The middle and the inner part of the tire looks OK. According to a quick google, it looks like positive camber. The fact that this wear pattern is on both sets of tires means that:
1) the positive camber is on one axle on the left side of my car, and I have rotated my tires since the misalignment, thus spreading out the wear pattern onto both tires.
2) the positive camber is on both axles on the left side of my car.
3) I've been making way too many right turns at extreme speeds (unlikely, as I make both left and right turns at "high" speeds)

Judging from a quick eyeball of the two sets of tires, the back tire appears to be more worn down then the front, in terms of abnormal wear. But I may be wrong.

So, my guess is that my rear left axle has positive camber.

I'm out of my 1 year "free" alignment warranty period by several months. I have no idea if a pothole has screwed with my alignment (likely) or if the car came with one side misaligned.

Am I screwed? Judging from the posts here, it appears that the rear axle is un-align-able without some sort of magical shim kit (which has only been used for toe-in or some other type of mis-alignment in the posts I've read thus far).

What are my options? I haven't had the chance to take it to the dealer yet. I am really starting to worry about having to replace something expensive (*cough* rear axle *cough*).

 

Dropped it off at the dealer today. (also had to fix some other items - smartkey unlock button stuck and the audio tsb for the aux jack).

Will cross my fingers and hope they can re-align it (and shim it if necessary). Will report back here with any details. I've asked for an alignment printout, so hopefully that'll be useful if the dealer can't fix it.

 

Ok, I've just picked up the car and heres the alignment report.



I guess my front left tire had a pretty bad toe?

However the thing that sorta worries me is the my rear right tire has a pretty bad toe too and they left it out of spec? But since I haven't noticed any bad tire wear on the right side of the car, it should be fine... Unless alignment reports reverses left and right... (I have no idea how to correctly read an alignment report)

 

Thanks Galaxee,

Your re-assurances are always comforting to a non-mechanical guy like me

Thanks again
