Just got back from Tire Kingdom and my toe/camber is fudged up.Do I need a camber kit,just an alignment or both?

 

id say just get the toe set and not worry about the camber

its not all that bad

 

I would say get your toe set also, and don't worry about the camber (you don't have much anyways). Their does seem to be a problem with your front caster though. You may want to get that checked out. Usually a part is bent or out of spec when your caster is off (Honda's don't have adjustable caster because it effects bump-steer).

 

its actually a good camber spec. i like ot see it around -1.5 each side. why? i dunno, it certainly is a bit relative to the height and and particular type of drivng, but whatever, i like it!

yeah, just dial back the front toe to 1/16 TOTAL toe out, or just make it straight. then zero out the rear thrust angle. it be sweet...

 

how would I zero out the rear thrust angle?


and 94eg!

what's wrong with the front caster,isn't in the green thing good?

 

your caster is fine. i wouldnt touch it.

the thrust angle is set by the relative angle of the TOTAL rear toe to the chassis. its off, both whel are pointing right.

are you going to do the alignment yourself???

 

dear God no,gonna take it to a place

 

then dont worry about it. theyll do it.

Here's a good reference I always point people towards to help understand toe / thrust angle:

They should be able to get the toe and thrust angle to 0, and the rest looks pretty good.

 

Check your front LCA bushings as well. I have seen those really throw off alignment numbers.

And i would say a -1.5 is a good camber to have, i would leave that alone.

 

Are there any other "Tire Place" chains in the midwest that can do these services as well? I hear of some places that say they can't adjust anything if you have an aftermarket suspension setup. I need to get specs on my alignment too!

 

Hi guys,

I see how you helped the original poster out. I was hoping you guys could help me out. My front tires were bald on the inner part of the tire. The car pulls hard to the right. Tires were balanced and had an alignment done. I have front and rear camber kits. I NEVER saw the people at Firestone adjust the camber. The car is an Accord EX dropped on TEIN SS with SPC front and rear camber kits. Do i have to adjust the camber in the front to make the car stop pulling so hard to the right and stop the tires from balding prematurely? Please guys help me out. 225/40 tires are freaking expensive. Here are the latest alignment specs.
