yes its all stock , when I bought the car I notice both front tires was cutting on the inside and loked like someone did a little wrk to the controll arms . The allignment is good the car runs straight but the bottom of both frnt tires are sticking out further than the top of the tires..

that's a negative camber...The book says these cars have a 3/4º positive camber. I have a 1/2º negative camber cause the car handles better and with wider tires the G body has a terrible tendency of scuffing the outside treads of the front tire. That being said it's usually the toe that cause the inside or outside of the tire to wear prematurely and not the camber

to me the front springs look to be too tall which would cause the condition in the pictures
