No just would like to know, especially the camber . Looking at car, it looks like car has too much neg. camber in front.

front camber specs
fwd -0.60* +/- 0.75*
awd -0.40* +/- 0.75*
look at the tire wear pattern. irregular tire wear patterns will tell you more than what you can determine visually looking at a suspension part.
when springs sag, camber goes negative and toe goes positive. toe is the biggest tire wear angle. You would see toe wear long before camber wear.
perform a front suspension check to ensure the tie rod ends, ball joints and controls arms are not ready to fall out.

I assume toe out or too much neg. camber could cause this?

can't tell from the pictures.
run your hand along the worn area of the tire. Is the wear pattern smooth or featheredged saw toothed? if its saw toothed the issue is incorrect toe setting. the tire is scrubbing off and it rolls down the road.
when the wear pattern gets bad enough, the tires will create a lot of road noise...growl sound similar to a bad wheel bearing.
if you get an alignment, make sure its a 4 wheel alignment. tell them to provide you with a printout of the initial and final alignment readings.
