The basic Quietech of those years does not have the ability to adjust camber, but Carts and Clubs said they can incorporate a kit of new parts with the ability to straighten the camber for $300. I've elected not to incorporate this kit because I'm speculating that Yamaha incorporated this negative camber for basic stability which I don't want to mess with. If you Google "Quietech Wheel Camber" you'll find more discussion on this.
Thanks for the informative answer to my question. My right front tire looks identical to yours. Some(and I will not name them) cart dealerships have claimed that there is not a problem with the tires. I have been told about this fix and contemplating having it done. I was comparing the suspension on a Star Cart and they definitely have a much better quality parts.
