hi, how can I adjust wheel camber on front wheels, very bad tyre wear on right side outer edge ( \- ) and tyre squeeks when turning or braking, thanks

Adjustment is by shims. At the inside of the top A arm there are 2 large bolts. These attach to a bracket on the chassis and between the chassis and the mount are shims you can add.
Realy this needs to be done on a wheel alignment machine to set correctly. Also check the rubber bushes in the upper arm as these do wear out and cause this problem

Could be a couple of hours labour at max for the alignment plus any parts. If the bushes are gone its 3 to 4 hours labour
