i have a 92 integra and lowered it and put an ingalls camber kit on it last year. i took it to pep boys to have it aligned and when i went to pick it up the mechanic said that my toe out adjustment (i think thats what it was) was all the way out. anyways, my front wheels both point outwards and wore my brand new KUMHOS bald in about 4 months. has anybody else had this problem?? and what can i do about it?

 

uhhh, move the adjustors in so that they point straight ahead.

 

yeah thats ur best idea. hey i have the same kit for my 97 and my rear is fine but my front i have a nutrel camber there not negative or positive, which is wierd for a car that is lowered, since all cars that are lowered have negative camber

 

You should put some negative camber in there, your car will handle much better. It's not the camber that kills the tires, it's the toe-in (as proven by both my zero toe and the thread author's bad toe-out).

so when i have my car aligned next, and the mechanic tells me that my car cant be aligned because my toe out adjustment is all the way out and he cant get my tires both aligned, then what do i do??? tires are not cheap and i want this problem fixed

 

Then you have either suspension or frame damage somewhere, which needs to be repaired.

 

Toe can be adjusted. If you have the camber kit on there then it moves them so they are pointing away from the center and you have to eye it til you can get the toe adjusted to spec. I have never heard of anyone not being able to adjust their toe to within spec, lowered or not.

 

Yup. Your supposed to have several degrees of adjustment either way.

 

what he's saying is the tires are toe'd out, but the adjustors are out as far as they will go. Moving the adjustors out will point the tires inward, moving them inward points the tires outward. If the adjustors are all the way out but the tires still point out, then he has either suspension or frame damage somewhere, i.e. something is not shaped like it's supposed to be.
