Posted 14/05/12 10:03 PM Share Posted 14/05/12 10:03 PM I assume so, There also a lot of factory fresh cars (sedans and utes) wearing front tyres in less than 10000ks.Where do I get a camber kit? I dont mind spending money if it will help save me money on tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that they are limited with camber adjust on the factory setup due to using shims rather than concentric bolts like on other makes. So I would say they have done everything possible to sort it for you.One thing to check thou is the amount of toe, apparently on these cars you need a little bit of toe in when not moving so that at highway speeds it doesnt flex to toe out. That to can cause inner tyre wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there any truth in the auto's only department. Know a FG that is low but not that low and it's been ok for the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
