A couple of years ago I hit a curb and had to replace a rim, lower control arms, and sway bar end link from being bent. Since then I've also done the hub and bearing on that side, upper control arm, and tie rod ends (on both sides). Once things were done and I got an alignment the camber on the front right wheel was out something really small like -0.2. Recently since doing my big brake upgrade I've been noticing some road noise that's been getting worse from my front right wheel, checking the tires themselves the tire on that side was just about bald on the inner edge while the driver side still had tread.
While I get money together for tires and hopefully some wheels I've swapped the front 2 so the bald area doesn't get worse and it can eat a little at the "good" tire but the noise did not change sides with the tire.. I'm thinking the wheel bearing my need to be replaced again but it seems rather early and with having replaced almost everything on that side I'm not sure whats causing the camber. My worst assumption would be something frame related. If possible I'd like to adjust the camber out assuming that's part of the tire wear so I've been looking at adjustable upper control arms but seeing Megan and SPC have clearance issues with little feedback on how to fix it I'm not sure what's still available on the market that would fit with little to no modifications or if adjustable ball joints would be a better/easier option, SPC still offers the ball joints alone it seems. Anyone have any feedback or recommendations on what else I might want to check?
Tires are shot anyways but I dont think that's going to make the road noise go away and obviously won't correct the camber.
