Hi,

if you think the camber is to far negative (closer to center-line of vehicle at the top of the tire) have the wheel alignment checked. camber that is to negative will show accelerated tire wear on the inside edge of the tire.
if the captiva is like an aveo and uses a beam style dead rear axle...there is no adjustment...an alignment shim would have to be installed behind the hub or install a new axle. its also possible the spindles are bent. the first step to determine this is to have it aligned to verify the camber readings. If you aren't seeing tire wear; its probably ok.
