i had a cressida '86 with a problem on the two front tires. i took the car to an alignment shop and they told me the car's camber is not straight. the two front tires were all worn out on the inward of the tire. i've changed the two front tires twice this month along with two aligments and i've also replaced two new tie rod and lower ball joint but the problem still insist. i would be pleased if anybody can help me on how to straighten up the camber and how to stop the wearing on the tires. thank-you, appreciated.

You could go round corners heaps faster, that should even out the wear pattern a bit.
Otherwise you need to find out why the camber has changed. Has the car been lowered, or had different wheels put on it? Maybe the springs are old & have sagged heaps?
If the problem can't be fixed by a suspension place can't they suggest a solution?
There are adjustable strut tops available that make camber & sometimes castor adjustable, but I wouldn't recommend them as a solution for your problem without knowing more about it.
