well i go and inspect my tires that i took off my old max, i put 500 miles on them and now the inside of the tire is almost gone!!!!!!!! i would say the camber is screwed up right? this is getting bad so i need to know soon.. would this have to do with the bushings i need? on my lower arm thingy??? i think it is the transverse link... the bushings that connect it to the car are totally gone on both sides

 

Just swap the control arms from your other maxima...

 

but what if i mess up the bushings??? and i dont think they are the control arms anymore.. i think they are the transverse link thingy

 

The fsm calls them transverse links...The rest of the world calls them control arms...

There is nothing you can do to the bushings by taking the control arm off...Very simple job...

 

ok, i wil go do this tomorrow probably because going around corners is a pain in the *** becasue the car shift too much and so fast it isnt safe for me to take a sharp corner faster than 30 MPH

 

lower arm thingy...thats the technical term right...

 

ha ha.. well you guys knew what i wwas talking about right???

 

if your car isn't lowered, it's more likely the toe than the camber. I would rec. an alignment. Find a shop where you can actually talk to the guy doing it. That way you can maybe slip him some bills to make sure he adjusts everything and does it right on specs. Or maybe just ask and he's cool like me.

 

If you would read the last sentence of his first post,he said the rubber in the control arms is gone....Alignment will not fix broken bushings...

 

does it hide under your bed at night? and lerk around at night?

Is your car lowered?

 

Not only that... incorrect toe will "feather" the tread, not wear the inside edge away. An inner edge wore away is too much negative camber, with a possible underinflation of the tires.

 

+1 kc.

93, i was sort of speaking outside the issue of the lca bushings, which i took for granted that he and we all knew needed to be and would be fixed first and foremost, sorry to be unclear, but yeah alignment and tire psi are both good to check once in a while.

 

i got new bushings for the lower control arms and now the loose steering and swaying around corners is gone!.. now i just need an alignment

 

cool! u get the stuff from internet auto mart?

 

i just had to shelve my 18" wheels for a while, because my set of $800 Pirellis are already bad on the inside in only 2 MONTHS!!....2 of the tires are showing belt. The cause for this is negative camber from lowering my vehicle so much. internetautomar mentioned that the camber bolt kits could correct this problem. gonna try it soon

 

did u get an alignment after you lowered and put those 18s on your car? that would be the first thing to do! im lowered on intrax and didnt need the camber bolts...i just sold mine actually

 

nope.. off of my old car.. they looked pretty good and no cracks so i ussed them... looked pretty new
