ok i have been having problems with my camber wear its terrible i havent been driving much but i have managed to pop 1 tire because of it and rubbed 1 down to little peices of metal sticking out of the tire is this a common problem with ef hatches also what are some of the camber kits that can fix it, i raised my car up to fix it for now

 

from the looks of it, you need to either raise your car and/or get a camber kit...either way you need an alignment to set your toe

i mean, if you know you're rubbing, raise it up

 

^^^ x2...

 

ya i raised it for now, ive never seen a tire get rubbed raw so fast the tires looked brand new a weak a go and i havent been pealing out

 

get a camber kit and allignment if your eating them that fast.

 

what are some of the kits i know skunk2 makes a kit any others, any numbers on how much a alignment might cost me

 

ingals is another one, alignment costs can vary from 50-75.00

 

get skunk camber kit. its a little pricy but well worth it. alignments can run anywhere from 25 just for fronts and up to 150 for lifetime on all four

 

I've never needed a camber kit for any 4th gen civic and I've had a 2.5-3.5 inch drop. Just make sure your toe is in line and your tire pressure is correct, they should wear ok. You might also want to come up a little if you are totaly slammed, that handling and ride can't be nice.

 

its your toe eating your tires. hit up the alignment rack and get it set, no need for camber kits, unless its a track car and you know what degrees to run for your setup.

 

how low did you have it

 

you dont have to go all gungho on spenging alot of money on a high priced skunk2camber kit when you can spend have as much on an ebay kit and get the same results.

and you could probably spend 30 bucks to get your allignment set to toe at any shop in your town.

my 91 ef is tucking all 4 wheels and i have zero camber wear no camber kit all i have it set is for toe, and i dailey drive mine all over gods creation.

 

This. Toe is the killer here.

 

your tires wore out unevenly because you never corrected the TOE with an alignment.

whenever you change ride heights, your TOE changes. so does your camber, but its the toe change that killed your tires.

 

Dont wanna steal thread, but since you were on the topic of camber kits


if i let go of the wheel it starts going to the right, REAL BAD.. not just a normal alignment
and i was told i need camber kit and alignment

What do you guys think? simple alignment do the job?

 

thats an alignment problem.

cross camber contributes to the tracking of the car. but your test only shows your alignment (toe, camber, caster) is all messed up.

 

Get a alingment and fix your toe. My car is droped about 3.5 inch and after I got my alingment and my toe seting set to zero I had no problem with tire wear.

 

also check your crossmember my car pulled to the left real bad and i found out my crossmeber was bent, what is the tow could i get some pics to help out

 

bump

 

What are you bumping for? You've got your answer.

 

thats what im bumping for

 

>> your car wheel is probably like this (view your tires from the top) / \ or \ / you want your tires to both point straight forward being parallel || that is Toe. get on an alignment and get your toes set to 0 and caster fixed if thats an issue as well. you seen how low my car is and i have no camber kit what so ever and i have no camber issue for the last 7 months driving daily.

 

Are you serious? You drop your car 4 inches and dont know what toe is, please do some research before starting a project like this about what you have to do before you destroy your car and burn through tires. Just take your car to an alighnment shop it will most likely fix your problems.

 

so its tire angle, is this something i can adjust myself

 

ooh tires woopty do we all have to learn some how i learned by popping a tire on my steelies which i care nothing about
