Default Did alignment and.....

Well, I did my allignment today and it seems that my Ingal camber kit is insufficient just like I thought. The least camber that i was able to set was -1.5deg. Which is not that bad, but will cause some wear. My question is how much wear??? I am not sure if this will be ok or will it start wearing out my tires very fast any one any experience????

Thanks.

I have a 4 inch drop up front and i have the same setup, ingalls kit up front and i did my alignment last winter and my result was -1.5 as well. So far i have yet to see camber wear. To be honest there is none, but that's maybe because I am on narrow *** tires (13" steelies). Wear is the same, no BS. My rear is a different story, i am assuming you might get some wear on a wider lower profile tire.

I have -1.75 on both corners per my request using a Skunk2 camber kit.

My rears are -1.5 per my washer setting.

My Front and Rear TOE is EXACTLY ZERO.

Guess what
I HAVE ZERO "CAMBER" WEAR.

It isn't camber that wears out your tires. Its TOE.

Default Re: Did alignment and..... (1.8 HB)

I have a 97 cx with Neuspeed sport springs drop 1.5 Front 1.75 rear, but it's more like 2.5 around, installed the Ingalls kit up front about 6 months ago and got -1.2 front right and -.2 front left. After wearing down a set of Yokahama A520's on 17 Konigs (7.5) the front left was ok when I went to rotate, but the front left -1.2 was worn down through the regular tread into darker flimsy stuff even though the rest of the tire is straight.

I have -1.7 in the rear and I keep the toe @ zero also but I have horrible Camber wear...

That is great. I hope my tires don't wear out as well. I am running ITR rims with 205-50-15 Falken Azenies, so the tires are wider a bit, but have lots of sidewall. I am runnig my toe at zero as well. We'll see how it goes. If I do get wear I will have to look into some sort of additional camber adjustment. I am using shims in the back as well.
