got a similar problem "growing" on my mig. slight wear on the inside of the tyre.
i have switched the tyres around from front to rear to extend the life and " see" what happens.
as aways i have similar experiences ( tracking only a little out, not worth adjusting) to find the inner of the tyres fubarded in a matter of months.(escort van)
new tyres fitted and insisted that the tracking be adjusted. sorted..
on the mig the wishbones are in a serviceable condition and the springs in one piece.
the only adjustment point i can see is on the strut to hub mount bolts.
there is this

but it only does degrees not minutes.
this on the other hand

although simple, build correctly using a bit of maths could.
opinions?

I've had two migs put on the computer now and had cam bolts fitted and the tyre last more than 12k with 0 camber.

Mmmm :-/ Is that something to do with old horses cantering over hills ....... ;D ;D ;D

I wouldn't bother with the first solution. The spirit level with bolts through it can achieve surprisingly accurate results, though, IME.
Problem is, it will put your toe adjustment out anyway, and that's less easy to get right on a DIY basis.

fair enough, camber set up first, then £20 for the toe/tracking set up.
