Exclamation alignment question: toe?

ok so I got an alignment and now my tires are wearing REALLY fast on the outer side..and I have negative camber and the toe is makin my tire wear faster than the camber is...so my question is: do I need to have the toe? can I have it realigned and have them take the toe off? suggestions? thanks in advance...

wrong, you always need to have toe in, coz' when the car goes forward the wheels will start to toe out, so you need toe in to begin with to compensate that.

and especially you lowered the car with negative camber, you need to toe in a tad more to compensate the camber as well

i wonder if you ahve too much toe in right now

i think i might have too much toe in then.. 'cause the outer sides of the tires are gettin' worn out pretty fast.. i mean the insides (where negative camber would usually wear the tires) isn't as bad as the worn out parts from toe.. i got it aligned at Tire World..
