    Camber Issues, help!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I am slammed on Koni Coilovers. I have 19" wheels.


    Been running BFgoodrich KDW2s... 235/35/19s


    Well the inside of my rear left tire is THREADED bad. Like I probably shouldn't drive much more..


    My right rear looks fine.


    How can I fix this, prevent more?


    tires prolly have 10-15k max...



    thanks!

    edit: pic for reference

    well obviously your alignment is off so you should start there.

    dont see what that pic proves

    Is that tire slanted in REAL bad?

    If not that, MOST LIKELY, the rear toe is off.

    Even after I got an alignment my front camber was a little off. Just keep rotating the tires for best wear. And go to a place that knows what they are doing.

    Re: Camber Issues, help!

    I have been having the same issue. The rears come with stock camber adjustments, but the fronts only have stock toe adjustments. No one besides KMAC makes anything to adjust front camber, but I haven't heard any good things about that company.

    Let me know what you find out and I'll keep you posted cause I just put goodyear eagle f1's on my car and really don't want to lose them as quickly as I did my previous tires.

    Get an alignment. A large portion of wear issues associated to camber are actually caused by toe-in.

    Re: Camber Issues, help!

    Your extra low ride height is exacerbating the camber problem as well. +1 on the alignment as it's $ extremely well spent IMHO.

    Re: Camber Issues, help!

    What's a good price to pay for an alignment?

    I had one at a well trusted tire/alignment shop near me and it was 120. It's hard for me to trust anyone, so I researched a ton before taking it anywhere and only felt comfortable there.
