I am finishing up replacing a lot of parts on my front end and .. before I button it all back up I want to see if I have another issue here...
both my front tire are a lot more worn on the inside edges of the tires out side edges are darn near new .... I am wondering is this a camber issue .. also the car sits what I am considering real low .... my jack sits 5" high and it is about 1/2 to 3/4 " shorter at the edge of the pan by the front wheel well ... I don't have the bumpsteer spacers on the car either .. any thoughts ..? |

Toe generally effects wear more than camber. If you have any kind of toe out on the front, that will ewear out those inside edges pretty quicky. If you have a fair bit of negative camber, and have a lot of miles on those tires, then it might be more camber related.
But toe will effect wear much more rapidly than camber will... -Josh2 |

But if you lowered your car without getting it realigned... that is most likely the reason your tires are wearing out.
you have to get all 4 wheels aligned. brant |
