I have extreamly bad negative (inside) camber wear on my 94 integra. Does anyone know what could have gone bad? I do not have the car lowered so im stuck on this one. Please help. Thank you.

 

Car sag at all ? Bad springs could cause that.

 

dont know what car sag mean. But it pulls to the right pretty hard, and its wearing bad from the inside. I was thinking maybe the upper control arm got bent by running over a pot hole or something.

Something could of got bent. When I asked if the car sagged, I ment is a spring maybe broke causing the car to be lower then it should be.

 

Things to check:

Alignment
Tire air pressure
Bent suspension pieces

Is the wear across the tire or just on the inside. If you car pulls it's probably a bad toe rather than bad camber.

 

sleepergsr may be right. if you lived in Orange County i would have been more than happy to check out your alignment for you. my guess would be your TOE which means the direction of your wheel is pointed either towards the car or away from the car. Easy problem just get an alignment or see if they would check it for free.

 

The wear is just on the inside. About 2 inches from the inside towards the middle. Seems like its just riding on that side. And it does pull to the right. The only thing I could think of bending is the upper control arms.

 

again, it would be best to look around to see if you can't get an alignment check for free. if something is wrong, dont let the same shop fix it. chances are they'll expletive it up worse. i may just be paranoid but i never let the shop guys touch my ****. i do everything myself. if i can't do it i call up another Integra or civic owner.

 

I did noticed that the right hand bolt that goes to the sway bar is badly bent but still holding on. Could this be it?

 

I've been saying this for YEARS...and now maybe you'll prove me right.

Camber doesn't really wear tires. It's TOE.

Your alignment is probably off badly. Go get some new tires. Go get the car aligned. If your toe is off towards the positive side, it will wear the inside of your tires whether the car has negative camber or not.

Is there something bent? bad bushing? get into an accident? Bad tie rod/ball joint? If your sway bar link is bent, maybe your control arm is bent. If your control arm is bent, it would DEFINATELY cause this to happen.

Get new tires so they can actually check the angles and then have your suspension inspected. Inspect and fix it fast so your new tires dont wear out.

It may be as simple as an alignment. It's recommended to have your alignment checked every once a year or so. Get a lifetime alignment if you plan on keeping the car a while. They're like $140ish. Then just have your alignment checked out every year.

A lot of places will do the CHECK on your alignment for free anyway. The actual act of doing the alignment is what costs money.

GET BEFORE AND AFTER PRINT OUTS OF YOUR ALIGNMENT!!

 

Have a shop that does alignments check out your suspension. Fix whatever is messed up, buy a new tire, and get an alignment done.

 

I dont have that much green to pay labor to get things changed that I can change. I will go get an alignment and hopefully they tell me what are the bad parts that way I can go change them myself.

 

Sounds like a bent/damaged LCA. Get that fixed before you get the alignment.

 

Have you tried jacking up your car and looking underneath to see if anything looks bent or damaged? You might wanna try to wiggle everything around, see if its a bad bushing somewhere

 

I see some good play when I wiggle it horizontally. Nothing else moves.

take it somewhere to have it fixed.
