Any chance it was/is overloaded, hence the camber? can't see how it could be overloaded. just the engine in there - all the luggage was in the boot/trunk and 2 adults+3 kids in the cabin. i'll check if the camber appears different now that the car is unloaded. will tyres wear more on long trips at high speeds compared to city driving?
