Excessive front camber causing inside shoulder wear.

[vinnie01]

Hi all just looking for some pre diagnostic advise as ill be taking the car to be checked soon anyway. i have a 1999 ford focus, its wearing through the inside shoulder of the front tires in just 6 months or 7,000 ish miles i am asuming they are the components it left the factory with (ive certainly not altered it). is it likely to be tracking or something more severe? if so how much of a wallet raping can i expect and is excessive camber an MOT failure?

Well its been in for its annual vet check and after being relieved of £135 its got another 12 months ticket. the camber issue was possible missing spacers and a defective ARB drop link so chuffed with that
