Front camber problems. HELP!!!
I'm sick and tired of replacing my front tires every 3 months or so. I have 235-35-19's in the front with KMAC LCA bushings and I've taken the car to several alignment shops, but nobody can seem to get the correct camber setting.
Is this just what its like when you have 19's? I'm thinking of going back to 18's...
Does anyone know of a good alignment shop in Orange County CA?
Thanks in advance.

I don't have the specs in front of me, but front camber was around -2 to -2.3 range if I remember correctly. Not sure about the toe. What springs and pads are you running?

Have you checked your wheel bearings?? I just had mine replaced, and my alignment will actually last past the first pothole... I was wearing the insides, feathering and cupping... not now...

if you're lowered, u need to buy some camber arms (def works for rear, i have em. dunno about front). you can add factory camber bolts in the front.

bro i had the same pro and i have 235 35 19 and mine is slammed..Kmac front will help even though
i stated earlier that the front camber kit did not work,BUT it did... The stupid ***** who did the alignment did my front wrong and broke my bushing since he never loosen the bolt b4 he turned the wheels.
i was sitting at -3.2 and now im at -1.7 which is very close to spec.
its not perfect or within the spec, but def its must better than b4.
i was wearing tires every 2 months a half, mAX 3 months if i was lucky
