Positive camber?

I know our platform does not have camber adjustability, but my tread wear is what seems to be a positive camber on both front tires.

I have had strange noise almost like either a wheel bearing starting to go, or an unbalanced tire. The strange part is, BOTH front tires have the same wear pattern.. wearing more on the outside of the wheel.

I can NOT figure out what the issue is.. anyone else have a similar issue or any insight on what it could be?

FE5 - LNF if that helps any

Im planning on bringing it to get aligned next week, but if it was toe in it would cause wear only on the outside tread?

You can always take a quick measurement yourself, and your can visually see if camber is positive or negative. But, if youve got a loud noise you may have severe toe issues.

Visually it all looks fine, the noise isint horribly loud, but its an obnoxious 'wawawawa' type noise... i know that doesnt help at all lol. Im just curious why both wheels, and why randomly. Wasnt a large pothole or anything that started it all.

Maybe possibly when they fixed the power steering recall..
