Inside tire wear on rear passenger...

I installed a Ford 9" with the TA delete and was wondering if there are adjustments that can be made to the alignment (camber angle) in the rear. My slick (as does the street tire) is wearing bad on the inside, and it could get expensive really quick. I'm not sure if it's wearing during burn outs or just normal driving. Just was curious if this problem would be fixed by getting a 4-wheel alignment or if there was something I could do.

Before you blame it all on camber, check the toe (for both rear tires individually).

Correcting camber and/or toe on a stick axle is a rather specialized job that you won't likely get any alignment shop to do for you. In fact, most places will tell you flat-out that adjustment is not possible. Generally, it involves removing the axle and using heat (acetylene).

Eh, I figured it would be something like that. I just wasn't sure if there was an easier way or not.
