Ok i lowered my honda accord a couple months ago with some tein type s springs. I got a dropzone camber kit to correct the camber in the front( rear didnt need it) and i cant get the tires to stop wearing on the inner portion. Ive tooken it to a shop to get it aligned and they screwed it up more than the way i had it. I replaced upper and lower ball joints when i got the car. And i got the Toe set pretty close. All you do to set toe is messure the back tires and adjust the front to match correct? Or is there a different distance between the wheels up front? I dont know but ive gone through 2 sets of front tires already and im ready to get this solved. I was thinking that maybe the camber kit is slipping. Ill take pics either today or tommorrow and post them of the camber kit installed so you guys and see what im talking about. Untill then any help would be great. Thanks Mekal
x2 on finding another shop. A good alignment shop won't just set everything back to 0 and call it a day. They'll set it according to your needs and they'll know that certain measurements need to be cheated in order to attain certain settings. I'm riding with -2 camber and no visible tire wear yet.
Get your toe zeroed out. You could do it yourself until you get a better alignment. You can use a string to get it in the ball park at least you wont be chewing tires. Put a string against the side of your car at the centerline of your wheels and center the steering wheel. You can measure the space between the string and tire at the back of the wheel then adjust the tie rods until you get it even on both sides.
