So which way is positive on the camber marks before straight up? Like 11 0'clock on the washer? I have wear on the inside of the tire.

Inside wear is more likely a toe issue. Have your aligned checked before screwing with it yourself....if the car is still under warranty, have the dealer check it.

It's a 2004 and my kids car, he doesn't have the money to take it to a shop. It's not feathering across the tread just on the in side after we put on new shocks.

OK first, this belongs in the 1st gen section, not the 4th.....

Again, camber isn't going to cause excessive shoulder wear unless its way out of whack, like 5 degrees or more. Toe settings out of spec will. Putting new shocks on the car should not change the alignment settings. Whatever its doing now its was doing before unless something else was changed or taken apart that shouldn't have been. These cars are known for wearing the rear tires unevenly BTW.
Are the hub bearings ok, and are the rubber bushings in the control arms still intact?
The best way to stop it is install adjustable rear toe bars so the camber can be set independently from the toe.

Oh it's says 2004 to 2009?. I'll try somewhere else. But all I was asking for is which way the marks indicate. So thanks anyway

Yes, it was just moved to the right section.....

Is it wearing the inside of both rear tires equally? Toe out.
Or wearing just one rear tire? Possibly camber, but caused by a worn or damaged component, not an adjustment

 

[Frome901]

Both tires evenly, thanks for the second opinion.

The only thing I can think of with new rear shocks, is that they’re definitely better shocks, and replacing shocks that have leaked the gas charge, so maybe the car sits .5” to 1” higher now? And changed the toe vs the lower, sagging ride height

Thanks for the reply Ill see what I can find on that.
