I'd like to comment rather than answer the questions..
The rear tires on my sedan were eaten by toe not camber. The trailing arm bushings were the culprit.
While some say the cross-stay bushings effect camber, replacing all 4 of mine (at 105K miles) it did not affect/correct the camber at all. This leads me to believe that, as usual, the kind folks on the board here are
right..the rear camber is caused by ride height/springs. Search the board;
you can find how to measure the height (from the bottom rim edge to fender edge I believe). I did not tackle the rear shocks or height yet.
I guess you could start with shocks and spacers..that should correct the camber. I do feel the trailing arm is a flawed design and they degrade and throw out the rear toe.
