1984-1989 300zx's came with camber and toe in adjustments, so your back tires should look like they are moving towards the center of the car at the top....a little bit. If you have excessive camber it could mean that you need some new springs.
Yes and no it depends on the sort of alignment need. Camber and aster yes, toe no

Camber refers to the slight curvature or incline of a surface, often used in engineering and design contexts. In automotive terms, it describes the angle of the wheels in relation to the vertical axis when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. A positive camber means the top of the wheels tilts outward, while a negative camber means they tilt inward. Proper camber adjustment can improve handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle performance.

Rear end is out of alignment. Have a 4 wheel alignment performed. If the tires are leaning inward on the bottom they should wear on the outside of the tire. This is positive camber. If the tire is leaning in at top and out at the bottom it is called negative camber. Independent rear wheel suspensions can make differences in camber visible for several reasons. Extra weight will cause most independent rear suspensions to squat forcing the tires out at the bottom ( temporary negative camber ) Early VW Bugs and buses had a suspensions that moved from 0 camber(wheel straight up and down to positive camber (rear wheels moved closer to one another at the bottom) The late 60s VW (68 on) had rear suspensions that went from straight up and down to wheels that were further apart at the bottom (Negative Camber). Weak or worn out rear suspension components such as springs can cause unwanted camber settings. Perhaps a problem with the front caused the tire wear that became visible when fires were rotated . It is quite possible to have the correct camber settings but because of a faulty suspension the alignment specifications become irrelevant.
For the front wheels the caster setting is 3.15 degrees and the camber is 0 degrees with a toe in of 0 inches. For the rear it is -0.5 degrees of camber and 0.08 inches toe in.
The proper camber angle for the rear wheels of a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS typically ranges from -0.5 to -1.0 degrees. This slight negative camber helps improve tire contact during cornering, enhancing stability and handling. It's important to have a professional alignment performed to ensure optimal angles for your specific driving conditions and preferences. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate settings.
A rear wheel leaning inwards at the bottom, often referred to as negative camber, can be caused by several factors. It may result from worn suspension components, such as bushings or ball joints, which can alter the alignment of the wheels. Additionally, improper wheel alignment, particularly if the toe or camber angles are off, can contribute to this issue. Lastly, damage to the vehicle's frame or axle can also lead to misalignment of the rear wheels.
For the front wheels, adjust the tie rods. For the rear wheels, there is a bolt on a control arm with a weird / off-centered looking washer on it, loosen the nut, and turn the bolt, this will adjust the toe. The camber is not adjustable if you dont have a camber kit. The best way is always to take it to a shop that has guaranteed work.
Camber is the Angle of which your front wheels are to the frame. Your front wheels are not on a 90 degree angle to the frame, this is done to make the vehicle drive straight. To much +/- camber will wear tires on the inside/outside faster than the rest of a tire. If this is happening, you need an alignment.
Rear camber is not adjustable on a Cherokee with a solid axle.
