Too Much Camber!

[mattson]

Well, for the last couple of months know I've noticed my tyres are beginning to wear on the insides... well after three trips to the tyre shop they reckon it's because there's too much camber in the rears (probably due to being lowered and audio equipment jammed in there) none the less, they reckon they can't get anymore adjustment out of them.

What I want to know is, what can I do to fix it? I wouldn't think I'm the first to have this problem?

Let me know.

Cheers,

Matt

I don't get that problem matt is it front or rear that are doing it.

he mentioned Rears (and also hinted due to audio equipment)..

If there's no more adjustment its due to not having camber kits in the back as well. (Yes, you can get camber kits for the back)..

Alot of places when lowering your car do not put the kits in the back, they only do the front.. because when quoting their price is normally $300-$500 more expensive..

Ie, one place quoted me $900 odd to lower car, camber kits all round, and another mod quoted $600.. I can tell you the lower price would not have the camber kits for the rear. I never knew rear camber kits were available until I asked the guy why is he more expensive.. When I called up the original $600 quote, he said "nah mate, there's enough adjustment in the rears to not require that".

Weather that's true or not, I am going with the camber kit in the back on the consideration that they make a kit for the back indicating there must be a need for it.. And you have highlighted that saying that there is not enough adjustment for that.

I should get one for the fronts... my tyres have been scrubbing out on the sides since I got the car!!

it pays to get a camber kit in any case, fords are well know to have wheel alignments that fall out of place and hence wear out the inners. Ive seen it on about 4 fords I known ppl to own, though the BA-BF range dont seem as bad. Either way 180 for a camber kit is cheaper than wearing out 600 worth of tyres 10000km prematuraly

Whiteline do camber kits for the BA.

$75 for a set of 2.

I have no clue why they would charge you so much to put them in (if they are doing your springs at the same time)..

Yeah my next wheel alignment will be done by a suspension joint.

The first thing Herrod offered me back in '04 when I had my previous car was a rear camber kit, he said at the time that it only needed a rear kit but having gone through a set of fronts from wear on the inner edge I'd be fitting one to the front as well.

For either - supplied only of course. Its not hard to fit a camber kit.

For 180 each set you are probably looking at Castor AND Camber kit.

This was through Advantage Suspension (where I have bought all my suspension needs for current and previous cars)
