toe or caster does that to tires

 

So what do you think I need to replace to get back to where it was?

 

set your toe back to 0 i believe. or atleast the closest to 0.

 

The thing is I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that. Like how do I set it back to 0? I know about engines not how to setup suspension. My bad.

 

alignment shops can do it. im in the same boat. i know a lil about suspension but to actually do it is another story.

 

I mean I have an idea of what needs to be done but I don't know if I would mess it up so I will take it to super autobacks later today. I hope they can do it.

 

take it to an alignment shop and get them to set it back up to the way you want it. they will give you a report of a before and after.

check your caster though...i'm kinda worried that you may have bent something in that pothole incident (ie: pushed the wheel back a bit towards the mudflap). if you have a chance, take a good look at your SW388 as well. I had a friend bend one on a pothole before :S

 

it could be as simple as an alignment problem, but im with this guy if it was a big bang you very well could have bent something so have a good damn look under there and at your wheel as well. sw388s are pretty soft wheels (and light, so thats good) but you really gotta be careful.

 

I just checked the wheel. It is fine. As far as the wheel to the mudflap it is the same as the other one. The only difference is the camber is a lot more on the left than on the right.

 

HOLY TIRE CHORDS!! damn dood, i'd stop running that tire if i were you!!!!

do you have any knocking noises when you hit bumps on that side? if it's just camber, there's a possibility of bent arms...

 

ahhhh SW388.

Expect to see one of these on my rear window in the next month.... and for a good reason.

 

Yeah I get what you mean. The tires were at there point to be replaced anyway. I was driving in the canyon when it happened and I gues that just took it to the limit. After seeing the tire I know I was lucky that I even made it home. I already bought new tires for it but before I install them I want to fix the camber.

 

dude ur not supposed to run the tires that low on the wire bro....

 

They weren't that low when I started driving. 300 miles of driving after I hit the pot hole. I don"t drive my car like this.

 

good man! glad to see you're ontop of it

i wonder how your toe was to have inner wear like that though...you must've been toe'd out by quite a bit?

 

Rok Stok, do you have ABS AND LSD? You have a D16Z6 right? Where did you get an LSD from? Which D series even had LSD? JDM D15B optional?

 

or he is going b?

 

or JDM K-series?! :O

 

 

Thanks for your imput fellas. I just ordered the Skunk2 Pro + Camber kit. I should have it by this Friday. I'll have the tires and the suspension aligned then. I hope they are good enough for track use.

 

adjusting your toe should be all you need for even tire wear.

 

And how do I adjust that?

 

you would want to get an alignment shop for that (just so you know how far your adjusting it cuz you can't really eye-ball it).

it's adjusted with the tie rods.

 

should I try to have it aligned before I put the Skunk2 stuff on it?

 

i would install the Skunk2 camber kit first before doing the alignment...no point paying twice

but before all that, make sure you didn't bend anything when you hit the pothole.
