[Club DSM] What is caster?

If the tire is sitting too far back that isnt an issue with camber. Im pretty sure that is a caster issue... it probly just needs an alignment

what kind of camber kit?

i have the skunk2 upper front control arms, and on both sides the bushing where the A-arm mount to the two pins where the mount bolts it tore out, so the arm literally moved back and forth on the pins, made some clunking noises occasionally... might want to check that...

Look at the strut rods. The rubber bushings are broken or the bolt is loose. If you jack up the side of the car the tire is sitting back on and see if the tire moves forward and backward you will find the problem.

def check ur bushings.....and sounds like a combo of caster and camber probs...no factory adjuestments to either unless installed....invest in a good front crossmember with caster adjustments...i did saved my ass from eating tires, wheel hop, eating tires, and that nasty EF pull under hard acceleration..
