Get a camber kit and an alignment. Or raise the car up and get an alignment.

 

get an allignment.

Camber isnt the problem, its the toe.

 

well i do need an alingment but before i lowered the car more i never waisted lot of tires in less than a month.

 

Lowering the car [freak]s up the alignment. If you needed one before, youre way off now. Youre probably twice as far out as before you lowered.

Get it done.

Ah, so you lowered it and didnt allign it? if so thats the problem.

your tires are probably pointing in like this / \

ed zachary!

 

Yea that's how the tires are / \ so just doing the alignment would it help it ? because people are telling me i need a camber kit so i dont know what to believe

 

 

Ok so i dont need a camber kit ??? i posted at another forum and they are saying i need a camber kit ????SOoo umm here you guys say i dont need a camber kit sooo what ??

 

it could be from both, i mean i had a chopped xmember and my tires came out looking like that every month and my car isnt lowered

 

get an aligntment first, it will help out a lot quicker then adjusting your cambers first

lowereing your suspension changes the geometry, so now you need to fix it and by it I mean the Toe, camber is irrelevant.

WTF is so hard to understand about getting the car alligned?

 

yea im going to get an alignment first because tires are not cheap and specially when they are gone in less than a month.

Funny thing last week i was at some street races and the tire i posted got flat and the cops showed up but good thing i parked away from the other crowd.

So you dont know what your problem was, what does that have to do with this.

this guy is getting confused enough.

 

STREETRACING!!!

 

LOL im going with a alignment first and see if that helps my friends car is lowered all the way and hes tires are like this too /------\ but he doesnt waste tires.

 

just saying, my aligntment was off and tires wear out quicker then having the type of camber that he currently has. trying to have him put 2 and 2 together

 

i dont have a camber yet

 

its like saying, rubbing your elbow on a cheese gratter, going in the same directions with the blades facing the direction your elbow is traveling wont shave your elbow, over time consistantly rubbing on the cheese grater it will begin to hurt right?

then say you rub your elbow going against the blades....well...its gonna grate that elbow!

confused yet??

 

Okay we should stop with the / \ angles and start refering to camber (tires angled from a side view) and toe (tires angle inwards(and forward) from above)

yes your freind has some crazy camber and he is okay because he has fixed his Toe.

obviously!

 

Enough said this guy street races and doesn't know how to lower a car correctly.


RICER!

GO HOME!

note: crappy body kit, way too low, crappy paint.

 

WOW this is the most frustrating thing I've ever read.

GET AN ALIGNMENT TO CORRECT THE TOE.

Camber is the least of your worries at this point. You don't need a camber kit. Your tires will not get worn out THAT bad if you get an alignment and still have negative camber like you do, they will just wear unevenly, NOT faster.

 

all the people dont no what they saying ..i have the same problem and ive had put inthe camber kit but it stills eats up the tire ...well all you need to do is FIX the RACK and pinion...get the pinion align in the middle of the rack so that the tires are equal ..or maybe undrop your car and get it align both drop and rack and pinion
