Default Camber Problem

i have an eg hatch on HX's with 185/65's

i started to get camber wear about a month ago, so i bought a camber kit to see if it would help.

i bought the blox kit and installed everything correct and STILL have alot of camber and now the insides of my tires are bald.

any help on what to do is appreciated, thanks

there are a lot of factors that come in to effect with camber,
if your old tires are worn they will continue to wear on the inside becuase of the un even tread from previous wear.(inside is the tire is closer to ground) replace tires...

ball joints bieng worn will efect alighnement.

as well as over presured oem gas struts too stiff .( recommend kyb ect gas ajustble struts that have plently of travel with out blowing and bieng able to handle a lower stance...

tire/ rim size affects the stance aka posistion of the tire.


did you re-alighn the car after the install of the upper ajustable arms?


just my 2 cents there are lot of post about camber adjustment and correction just search

The front tires were brand new, put on about a month ago.

An the car hasn't been alligned in awhile.

I got new outer tie rods about 3 months ago too, and it is front and rear camber.

If you don't have aftermarket adjustable parts, then only the toe is adjusted during an alignment.

Thankfully, the toe is what causes the vast majority of tire wear, and as such is all that needs to be adjusted.

Lol so you installed a camber kit and didnt get it aligned? They adjust everything that can be adjusted. Camber and caster normally isnt adjustable but they will be able to adjust the camber as well as the toe on your car.
