So I had changed the alignment for the track and I'm guessing I got too much toe in the rear, with the result that after about 3k miles on the road, the rear tires have scrubbed and are at the wear limit.

Today I had the alignment done at a chain tire place and they took out a lot of toe in the rear but they also set the front camber at 0, where before I had almost 1 deg neg camber.

My question is, can I just loosen the strut mounts and adjust the camber myself, or will changing the camber change the toe?
