It seems as though the skunk2 camber kit just doesn't cut it. I have a '93 hatch and the insides of my front tires are wore down really far. I adjusted the camber so that the tire was a little more straight up and down so i hope that helps. It still looks as though it is going to ruin my tires. I don't know what to do because i don't want to keep having to buy tires, i'm not rich.

Anyways is there anyway that can make the insides of the tires not wear down so fast?? The kit doesn't seem to straighten out the tire enough when it is fully extended.

 

if your car is too low no camber kit will help. some cars are not meant to be too low if you are one of those cases.

 

Did you get a wheel alignment? It sounds like you just lined it up by eye. A camber kit doesn't magically stop your tyre wear, you have to have them set properly.

A lot of that edgeware can be toe wear instead of camber wear. Anytime you adjust camber your toe settings change... hence why you are having heavy inside edge wear

 

If your car has ever been in a front end collision, too it will never be the same. Camber kits may help a little.

If your tires already show a lot of camber wear I don't think that can be corrected, unless you rotate them, provided that the rears arent worn either.

I agree that if your car is too low it will never correct.

My car has had itself hit on the passenger front and the alignment shop says you cannot correct it unless you have a camber kit, luckily it wasn't a severe hit....

good luck

 

If the car is to low then the tires are toast even with a camber kit although i lowered my ef9 with camber kit and with it adjusted all the way, i still had a like 1.25 degress negative. Although those tires with proper rotation lasted two years. I was tinking about getting the skunk camber kit for my del sol. Oh, BIG O tires offers a electronical wheel alignment ,and it produces a print out of the camber degree before and after adjustmet. If you decide to do that, i suggest set the vehicle to the deisered height and do it from there so they could try to get as close to spec. at that height.

 

I never thought about that being too low and not being able to adjust it properly. What about buying shorter. lower control arms? I think my front and rears are pretty toasted already anyways. Thanks for the feedback!

Defnitely get an alignment. An installed camber kit without an alignment is probably more out of whack than it was before you installed the kit. As for the LCA, they are available for the rear and will pull the wheel assembly in about half an inch and allow for more tire clearance.
