ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 5m 24d Gender: Male Posted 05/12/12 10:47 AM Share Posted 05/12/12 10:47 AM Hey guys, had a bit of a read through and couldn't really find a definitive answer. current situation is that I keep wrecking my rear 20in x 275 tyres. don't get me wrong I love doing power skids in the car but its only the inside inch that is getting killed and the rest of the tyre is near perfect. I've had it wheel aligned at a few different joints but every time it comes back as being perfect. got 5000kms out of the last set on my old car and 3000kms out of the set on my new one. Is this happening because of the independent rear suspension setup? I read on here that maybe nolathane rear bushes might fix the problem by stiffening the rear? does anyone else experience this problem? would having a few degrees positive camber possibly negate some of the wearing effects? any ideas would be handy as I'm now on my 3rd set of 275s this year and I haven't even clocked up 10,000kms of driving...

Some aligners will dial in up to 2mm of Toe In, this will wear the inner edge badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 6d Posted 11/12/12 10:05 PM Share Posted 11/12/12 10:05 PM Got quoted $600 for adjustable upper control arms installed. They give a couple of degrees of adjustment of camber. Agreed with Senna though toe will have a big factor too. I have neg 1 degree camber on the rear with 255's but the inside is barely wearing more than the outsides. The guy who did my alignment explained how toe is just as much a factor as camber. If you have your print out from your last alignment post it up and senna should be able to tell you if its all good or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
