Read on a tire thread that the 09 model was and caused uneven wear.

I have a 2012 and hope that is not the case for any Fits .

It does look like its cambered inward a bit ... Any opinions ?

I have a '10 and have no issues with uneven wear as far as camber is concerned.

stock rear camber is around -0.3-0.4 degrees. They probably look more cambered than they are because the back wheels are more sunk than the fronts.

hondas are pretty notorious for this....just look at the Elements, MDX's, and Civics on the road with some miles on them and I bet the rear driver's side tire has that cambered look (top leaning in)

Drives me nuts and even more so when I find there is no way to adjust that.

Except all of those have IRS afaik, and as springs sag, shocks go bad, and bushings start stretching will start to camber out more, also when the back is loaded.

Fits shouldn't have that problem to anywhere near what you see on those cars, no matter the mileage. You should never have to adjust it on a Fit, so they did not add adjustments.

I have an '09 and this is news to me. I have 30K and the original tires and they are wearing evenly with remaining tread. Maybe it helps that I've had the wheels aligned and the tire pressure kept up.

We also have a Mazda5. Now that vehicle has Negative Camber.

Speaking of, we just had our '12 fit aligned.

The rear wheels are toe'd in out of spec. Funny how Honda puts out a car without adjustment, that is out of its own specs.....

We will probably take it in to the dealer, and ask them wth.

that'd be your best bet. the GD fit isn't much better because it requires shims to adjust camber and toe. stupid design
