Default CAMBER

92 eg si lowered 1.75" HnR sport's on 16" rims

my front left wheels seems to have an wear issue, its toed in or somsething the innner tread is wearing, as well as the back rear right tire as well having same issue. Im thinking maybe a toe in alignment would resolve this, but maybe a camber as well. I herd if u do a camber best to get new shocks? true or false

Im getting new rubber put on next week + then was thinking of doing alignment
and work from there to see if i need a camber kit.

any ideas or recommendations anyone?

get a alignment first, then check for more wear. If there is then the camber is prolly too neg. and u will need a camber kit. Toe is what really messes up tire wear, Camber is also a reason too but that's if there is too much neg. camber.
Search for more info.

good luck

an alignment will only help so much. If the camber is real bad then you will need to get a camber fit. And you will only need to buy the front because you can make your own rear kit.

camber kit=worthless unless you have an extreme drop. Toe Angle is where it's at!! Go get your Toe aligned and youll be fine. A little negative camber isnt necessarily a bad thing.
