Rear Wheel Camber . . .

My HMMWV has some pretty good positive rear wheel camber. I suspect it's mostly becuase it's set up to haul a heavy load. I looked at the TM - and camber is adjusted by shimming the upper control arm. That said - I have two thin shins on one side and only one thin shim on the other. Removing them will likely have little effect.

Is it it more likely that the rear coil springs cause that much camber?

Ignore it and drive? Anyone else successfully address this condition?

I took the shims out on my shelter carrier, helped a little. It's the heavy spring that is to blame like you say. Almost no suspension deflection unloaded.

The manual also states that when the outside of the tires wears down, to flip them on the rim so that the other side will wear down. Check you ball joints and make sure they haven't failed.
