Default more tire help!

Ok so I took the front wheels off a second ago to check the brakes and found this

I'm thinking alignment or ball joints. Hope its just the alignment.

Are you dropped? I'd get an alignment and see how much % off it is before I come to other conclusions. It's probably your cheapest option too..

You probably just need a alignment then. I don't see you needing a camber kit at stock height.

if you are dropped on F sport, u shouldnt really have an issue with camber wear. you probably just need an alignment. usually only get tire wear like that if u are dropped pretty low

Yes it a normal issue on the IS cause of the suspension design. Do the search and you find hundredth of thread on this topic. Yes even at stock height. Tire won't get you past 25k I've seen from member. The toe setting suck.
