my car is lowered, i don't know exactly how much, but what i do know is that its cambered an the inside of my tire is wearing WAY to fast.I had it aligned and new tires put on a couple weeks ago an there still seems to be some uneven tire wear.So my question is should i just throw a camber kit on it or is there any other ways around this situation.Also i cant decide witch type of kit to go with ball joint or the hole upper control arm.from reading around i know there are a lot of fixed feeling about camber kits.Any help would be great.thanks

 

This'll be better in the suspension area, so I'll move it.

 

thanks...and sry about that

 

any body ouuuttt theeerrreee?

 

Normally, it can tolerate camber pretty well, as long as the TOE is OK. You said you had it aligned, so I'm assuming the toe is OK. I'm talking about aligning the car AFTER it's lowered. Toe is SUPPOSED to change as the suspension deflects, so it doesn't count if you had it aligned before lowering.

I'd say get a camber kit & have it aligned again. But I don't know what to say about which type of camber kit is better.

 

the car was aligned after the lowering.just got it aligned a couple weeks ago also put two new tires on the front.t.anyone know what the difference between ball-joint/upper control arm camber kits?

 

A camber kit allows you to adjust camber. As you can see, we do not like SPAM around here.

 

well the balljoint is in the upper control arm so basically they are the same. However, the upper control arm kit is a control arm and prolly has the balljoint already pressed in.

The other version is anchor bolt style.

I got the Ingalls Balljoint kit and had a local shop press them in. When you go over a bump sometimes they will band into the inner fender which results in a loud noise but its fine. anchor bolt style tend to wear out quickly and squeak.

go with name brand.

for the rear i got wicked tuning.

 

I didn't get an alignment after I dropped 1.5". The toe was off...that was what really killed my tires. After a new set of tires and the correct toe alignment the front wear is fine. If you are still getting bad wear with a new set of tires with the toe in front adjusted properly you may have struts that are shot. The only camber kit I got was for the rear...basically a pair of adjustable arms. The camber on my front was within factory spec (-0.3) I put about 3000 miles on my tires...so far look pretty good.
