I have a problem with my KIA RONDO...Tyre shop discovered significant uneven wear on my rear tires...but they were surprised because there is no REAR CHAMBER SCREW at rondo...so how they want to fix that? Anyone have experience on how to deal with this? heard that by installing a Chamber Kit can help but where can I find it?

most cars dont have rear camber screw..why you need to adjust camber?

flat spot maybe due to car not moving for a long time, or you did a handbrake turn...lol

not sure by installing camber screw could eliminate flat spot problem..

Not sure what rear suspension design your Rondo have, but only certain design or cars have rear camber adjustment. Even if have they do not have the camber screw adjustment as the design is totally different from the front.
My old Hyundai Sonata and my current China SUV have the rear camber adjustment and it adjust from the lower arm that is attached to the body, not at the wheel end.
If torsion beam rear setup, no adjustment can be done.

your flat spot tyre is caused by worn shock absorbers, check if have oil leaking out from shock absorbers, or having "guk" "guk""guk"noise when going through rough roads, after replace absorbers, you might want to replace the tyre as well.
Cheers.

That is wavy or uneven wear, right? Not flat spots. Flats spots are like parking for long period of time on one area or cars without ABS locking their brakes in emergency situation.....

If it is uneven wear (wavy), most probably absorbers worn.
If tyres wear on either inner or outer side then it is camber problem

how are the bushes in the arms and all? Worn bushing will affect tyres too.

Stock standard cars do not have camber screws.

tyres wear inner side. When they scanned using machine...left sided tyres (rear) was twisted a bit (i dont know is this the right term)... other tyres not so bad compare to this one. That is why they want to change the screw

Look in Google : Camber, toe in/out and then tell us what was out.

Can anyone suggest a reputable place to get an exhaust manifold? Mine would not be an off the shelf item, so the shop would have to make one. Please also comment on the pricing. Thank you very much.
