Not sure who to beleive or what to do with my 00 hatch. My suspension is stock and had it aligned wtih new tires moutn and balanced in december. Both of my rear tires are showing camber wear on the inside shoulder, or what i would think is camber wear. The back of the hatch really has nothing in it and really not much weight over the rear end, not sure if that really matters.

I am running 205/50/15's and don't have any mods to the suspension and nothing has happened to me recently that would 've throw it off, so i think.

The car had ben hit on the rear driver qt. before i bought the car but its both sides equally worn, so i am stumped and really don't want to just band it and throw a camber kit on. I want to know what the f is wrong!!

Thanks for the help

 

still ahve your alignment sheet?

 

sadly no, i forgot to get it when i had it originally aligned, as they said everything looked and was in great shape. i know i suck

 

its not your camber tho. not unless i see a sheet saying its way off.

id say get it aligned again, and have the tires flipped if you still can make use of them.

 

i assumed that having the inward tilt of the top of the tire was camber of the tire, which i thought cause the inside edge to wear prematurely. I wish i had the sheet , i have no way to know what it was before and after the alignment , and if i can i def will have the tires flipped. Would it be toe that could be causing it something?

 

EK's just have a lot of camber stock anyway.

and no, its not camber that wears it that way. its bad toe.

 

hmmmm thats good to know, im actually going ot be having another shop check it out. So if eks have alot of camber naturally then the only real way is to put a camber kit or do the washer trick from the beginnig? i want to get the most mileage out of my tires any idea what the best settings would be for caster/camber/toe? thanks again

 

i wonder if they didn't adjust this before and that was a problem earlier when i had the car lowered? Since then i was slammed and thought it was camber wear on the tires i had at the time.

Im a little paranoid as to what is wrong if its just toe wear and a camber problem or if something is bent

 

did you get the alignment after or before you dropped the car?

 

i bought the car already lowered on neuspeed race srpings and then put stock suspension on and put tires and had it all mounted balanced and aligned with the stock suspension on.

 

I have been having a hard time getting a hold of the the shop that i want to have my alignment done at, and still wondering if its a camber problem or that my tie is ridiculously off? anyone have tips on what the ideal setting would be for toe to get the best tire wear not carring about handling at the moment

0 toe, front and back.

However, the factory specification calls for a little bit of rear toe in, for high speed and braking stability. Its up to you if you want/need that though.

 

i have an appointment thursday morning and hope to have some good results and will share what i find out. Thanks for the help

 

well it seems as though when i had the alignment done before they pretty much didn't touch the toe adjustment at all. so it was out all around and majorly in the rear. so thanks to everyone who said about the toe out!
