Default suggestion's needed

Well i was working on my brakes today and noticed that the left rear wheel needs to have the camber adjusted. Is there any adjustment in the rear? Most cars i thought it was set. Well my real question is what kind of tires should i be looking at. I want good steet preformance. Right now i have some junk falda tires. I pretty much have to always give up 1st gear becasue i get no tration. I do my best but its really annoying. I live in MD we get one to three good snow storms a year however i have a ford contour for days like that. I will drive the car in the rain.


Thanks for the help

"Brakes" ???? . . .

If you are talking about your Camaro, there is no "Camber adjustment on a solid rear axle.

What kind of budget?

What size wheels?

Yeah the no camber adjustment worrys me. There is a very big issue with wear on the inside of the left rear wheel. Stock size wheels. I wont go cheep but on the other hand i dont wanna have to take out a loan.

Does it sit level? You miht have a bad spring/shock. No adjustment for a solid
axle. How much air pressure's in the tire?

Or, he bent an axle tube?? If that happened, my guess is that the ring and pinion/diff would be making all kinds of horrific noises, right?

no bad noise from the rear yet. it drips fluid to some degree. There is a squeak that comes from the break on the left side same side as the tire issue. I will have to see if it sits level. It may be a lilttle bit off. I am just worried. I dont think it is an axle tube it may be the axel its self
