Front camber?

Benzino · 03-19-2007, 09:56 PM

I just wore out some Toyo tires rather quickly, and I need a new pair already! I have rear camber adjustable arms and now I desperatly need front? Is there anything I can do?

Ok what I need is of some way to fix my front camber if such a thing exist. My rear is fine.

How far off is your camber? OEM crash bolts will give you about +0.5 degrees.

How fast is "rather quickly"? I'm at -2.0 degrees in the front and I'm right at about 10k miles with my Toyo T1R's with plenty of tread left (even on the inside of the tire). Are you sure it isn't your toe that's causing the excessive wear?

The oem +0.5 degrees is really nothing. 10k miles is not much at all. My outter edges wore out excessively and somewhat the inner. How much is that OEM bolt you say?

In my alignment thread a while back someone said the bolts are about $20.

If the outer edge of the tire is worn out AND your car is lowered, it probably isn't camber causing it.

Any ideas? Sears said, camber kit would resolve it.

mbzhumper · 03-20-2007, 05:13 PM

Sear's doesn't know ****!!!

sdsilverm3 · 03-20-2007, 07:08 PM

Go to a real alignment shop and get some real readings.

Benzino · 03-21-2007, 12:44 PM

And I thought Sears was legit. Sears had a fantsy machine that is able to read the measurements of your current alignment job while this other sport I went to did everything by hand.

sdsilverm3 · 03-21-2007, 03:07 PM

Doing it by hand isn't all that bad. One of the best alignment shops here in SD still does it by hand.

Sears, Pepboy, Kragen, only do American and Japanese car and only made them more ****ty....

If your outer edge tyre is worn out, check the tyre pressure.

Benzino · 03-21-2007, 11:50 PM

Its def not the tire pressure. Today i bought some adjustable alignment bolts. 11 bucks from Doval. They sell them piece by piece? So it came out to 22 bucks.
