i'm running on k-crap coilovers and don't know how much neg camber its set at right now...prob greater than -1.5. no, i didn't get it professionally aligned b/c if i was too, i would go w/ the lifetime alignment which i can't afford right now cause i have at least a billion other things that i need to get and do. i just tried to align it close to center as i could get it.

before i took these pics, i rotated the tires about 1500-2000 miles ago.
its worn down like hell and soooo quick. i haven't auto-crossed or anything since i rotated them. but why are there excessive outer wear? could it be the toe thats off? one of the control arms is brand new so a bent or a damaged control arm wouldn't be the factor b/c it would show 2 different wear patterns.

Its likely bad toe....that would be my guess...

 

get an alignment. it will solve your problem.

 

mmm k

 

yeh, thats my main guess right now. guess i'll just have to save harder and get that alignment...

 

that looks like cambered out or toe in... or maybe a combination of both someone correct me if im wrong or add to that. nut just get the alignment though.

 

He's got a valid point, if you can't pay for simple maintenance for your car, then just don't drive it all, period. Your safety is important to you is it not? Bad alignment can easily limit your ability to control the car

 

Those *****es are toe in.

 

i know, i know mom, i actually felt the car "slip" on smooth surfaces and i was like whoa, i really need to fix this. but you don't understand the amount of maintenance i had to do on my car recently....

once i get my lower strut collars for my coilovers back from ksport, i will install them then get the car aligned.
i was thinking about putting the 15'' stockers back on afterwards

 

Fair enough...just take it real easy...like 10-20 under the speed limit...if people ***** they can pass you or suck it up

 

you need tires more than you need an alignment. just make sure you dont drive in the rain with those tires.

 

lolz, temp fix:

That's totally your toe!

 

Yeah that is toe wear. Toe in by the looks of it, basically the outer most of the tire is almost being pushed..

hard to explain..you know what happens when you wore your shoes on the wrong foot, your feet kinda point in, now imagine the tire trying to move forward when its always pointing in.


Damn, have you had any axle issues? Your control arms are at a pretty nice upwards angle, and your axle looks kinda akward lol. Even with my Eibachs, i notice my control arms are pretty close to being horizontal though!

 

one of my Falken Ziex ze-512's Tires did that...In fact it was the passenger side, ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE THOUGH.....I GOT AN Alignment, and with my new rims and tires, i haven't had any problems...id say with the new rims and tires, I've only done about 600 Miles
