i used to think it was camber. but the rear tires dont wear out as quickly as the front. then i saw an options video (for those who dont know. japanese import video magazine type thing). they explained it as TOE in TOE out. and it gives u kinda a duck walk . figuratively speaking. i was wondering if anyone has done this adjustment? and if it helped your tire wear on the front tires?

i am going to attempt to adjust this today on my 91 crx-si.

 

I had this, not from lowering srpings but apparetnly from the extra weight of the b16 effectively lowering the car. My inner tires wore to the steel. I got an alignment and it seemed to fix the problem.

 

or get a camber kit

 

I don't think a camber kit will fix a toe problem.

Yes you are correct. Sorry i misread the post.

 

It is called getting a alignment.
DO NOT attempt it yourself unless you got the $10K machine and slip plates.

 

well since i had the alignment done. it had/has nothing to do wit the TOE problem. they do not touch that area of the car. toe in toe out is not alignment. or else it would be fixed. the car runs straight without holdin the wheel. its not that, its the duck feet action that keeps wearing my tires. and if it is part of alignment they didnt do their job then. but i think they did their job fine. car runs straight steering wheel is lined up correct.

 

Monitoring the tirewear and switching tires according to the X-swap (see Honda manual) in time will give a good even wear.

1991 SiR, dropped 1,5"
camber front: -2
camber rear: -0,6
toe in front: 0.6mm
toe out rear: 0.6mm

No correction kits........

 

toe is a major wear factor on tires meaning they wear your tires the most if you have to just run your hand across your tire it should feel a little jagged like feather edged yeah dont try and attempting this without a machine.

 

alignment on a honda = toe adjustment.
Without a kit that is all you can do!
Try 3/16" total toe in for the alignment.

With 1.5-1.7" lowering, toe has to be DEAD ON to get proper tire wear.

 

Yes, but for ideal summer-alignment settings you should use slight toe-in front and toe-out rear..
