I slotted the rear struts and removed some of the negative camber on the rear. I wanted the negative camber in the front. 278000 miles. Any major issues with the car on your way to those miles?
REAR wheel aysmetry, are yours equally spaced?
My 04 which I bought new ,has always has the right rear wheel sticking out almost a 1/2 in. More than the left rear if viewed from behind,it also has a degree more camber on the left rear compared to the right... 2deg. Rt.. And 1 degree. Left.
Tires don't wear unevenly but it looks bad IMO,like I hit a curb or something.
This has been covered before,soo I think it's a factory Neon issue.
If you have factory wheels it's not very noticeable, but i have spacers on the back, Soo its noticeable.
My car has 278,000mi. On it and handles like its on rails, i never get tired of it!!

Get a set of adjustable Lower Control Arms (a set is 4 arms) to solve your right rear from sticking out and the excessive camber that happens because of the "sticking out".
The heim joint LCAs will even improve your handling even more.
The 2 new left LCA arms will be set to the same length as the left rear stock LCAs.
The remaining 2 LCAs will be set 1/4"-1/2" shorter. You will need to experiment in that 1/4"-1/2" range to see what is best for your car's configuration. Toe adjustment will also be set with the new LCAs...I use zero toe angle on my car.
I bought my heim LCAs from "MannyZ" a decade ago but DCR sells the heim, or more expensive poly LCAs in ebay.
