Default Why is it.....?

when you go to a tire place... and you have negative camber which causes the inside of the tire to wear faster (duh) they tell you that you need an alignment...... when i thought it was a camber kit that was needed....

so will an alignment cure the camber wear problem.... no right?

It depends on how low you are. Sometimes you can cure the tire wear just by doing an adjustment. But if you too low a camber kit is definately needed.

when you get a camber kit you still need an alignment. the camber kits are adjustable and anytime you mess with the suspension/wheel are you need to get one.

if your more than 1 in3'4 your probably need a camber kit, get an ingalls camber kit and have your car algined after the kit is installed, if the person aligning your car has any idea what there doing, they can adjust the camber, align your car and it should all be better.......for the back all you need is 2 semi thick metal washers and that will fix your camber problem, plus save you some loot........
