well if it is still wearing the insides of the tire just buy a camber kit for like 40 bucks. when you turn do your cv's make a popping noise? if so its about time to replace them

ummm.... if your cv's are cutting at the same time, it's to low to not have a camber kit dude. how much did you lower it?? doesn't take much on a honda.

is that your back wheel sticking out like that?


How MUCH is your car lowered? you know lowered cars wear CV axles more

I mean thats your problem, your not within spec. U need a alignment, what kinf of tires are you buying and whats the PSI in em?

You have a good amount of negative camber that needs to be corrected. The one picture shows the tire feathering which is caused by incorrect toe. I think your ride is either MUCH lower then stock or has worn bent components.

The spec for tow is 0 in the front and 2mm in the rear. Camber is also specs at 0 for that car. Make SURE they are doing a 4 wheel allignment also, since the front tracks off the rear.

Also, quit freaking making a new post everytime you want to say something. Cram it into one post, PLEASE!

the first tire looks like it's fucken overinflated, and somebody just did a 5 minute burn out on it (doesn't look like your alligment got even a chance or destroying it). Stop doing that stupid ****, you will get your altezzas bashed for that ****.

Second tire got crazy camber wear. And yes dude 2.0 degrees of negative camber will cause that in less then 5,000 miles. 1.0 degree is pretty high. I would get a camber kit ($160 skunk2. best choise in my book), and get it aligned again.

Make sure they set the camber to like -.5 or -.8, so that your car still handles good.

Yea lmao nobody cut your CV boots neither. They were just old, then you lowered the car and they got fucken torn. Go to autozone and buy yourself an axle for $55 and fucken replace it.

0.02 of toe aitn't **** neither. It's not even close to cause any tire wear. Sometimes a little toe in will help you under breaking thru corners also.

First off, you don't need to make all 56 posts that you have credit to in this one thread. Thats not going to help anyone, especially yourself. Learn to have patience.

Second, do people need to spell this out for you? I said the tire had feathering on it which *IS* caused by toe. I didn't say its the cause of the blown tire, I didn't say it was the cause of the torn boots. 2 degrees of negative camber can and WILL hose your tire with the swiftness. I don't know what the hell you did to the first pictured tire, but it wasn't from your allignment. Something gay is the cause of that crap. Now, lets reiterate so your young mind cand comprehend the summary of this post.

1). Your camber is crap. Get it fixed.
2). The camber is the reason the tires are rapidly wearing on the inside
3). Something other then the allignment hosed the first pictured tire
4). You need to correct the problem (Camber mainly) with an allignment AFTER you purchase a method of adjusting camber (camber kit, omnipower control arm)
5). 32 posts aren't needed to ask for help
6). Your question has been answered, no?
