Default Camber wear on is350 OEM suspension

I have some pretty bad camber wear on my 06 IS350 on stock suspension. Obviously the first things I'm going to do is a alignment and I know these cars come with negative camber from the factory but I feel like mine is wearing pretty bad. It does have 100k+ miles but theres no bouncing in my suspension and feels fine. Possibly bushings?

I got bad wear on my front tires. my rear struts or shocks need to be replaced. I dont know if this is the cause or not, but I hope it is. As I do not want to replace my front tires every 10-12 months.

Not sure how the rear would affect the front but yea my tires went in 10k miles. I dont drive agressively at all.

So I can assume it is your front tires that you are complaining about? It is known that the 2IS model straight from the factory has an aggressive toe setting. This is what is helping the wear issue; plus the fact that you probably need an alignment and MAY have excessive warn bushings in places.

Start with an alignment and go from there!

SPC camber kit is what you need. I have 118K and my front tires were bald on the inside. i just replaced them and can already see it eating the new tires. im currently hunting for a coilover setup along with the camber kit to help with this tire issue.

all my shocks/struts are shot. i checked all bushing and nothing is torn.

Offspring, how can you tell your shocks are shot? Are they overly bouncy? Mine seem fine.

Mine are very bouncy and the fact I can feel every little bump on the road. Plus my car is sittin a lot lower than stock height when everything is oem. No lowering springs nothing.
