Some "house keeping" things
Just checking general condition of my car today, noticed some things so maybe you guys can help me out:
LF tire has tread worn on innerside only, does that mean too much camber? If so, how can I check to see and can i correct it at home or go to mechanic?
Frame has some surface rust, should I be worried? Should i take immediate action to stop rust, like repaint?
Brake pads don't completly contact rotors, maybe 1/16inch hanging over, is this bad?

Thanks a bunch.
New development: I rotated the LF tire with another with more tread. Before it was pulling slightly to the right, now it pulls slightly to the left. What could this be? Alignment? Too much toe-in? Camber?
