Swift Springs // Problem with Alignment

Well, what’s the difference in thread depth from outside to inside? If you are already down to 4/32 at the middle, then you should replace. If you are flat on inside, but 6/32 middle, then it’s more than camber.

More often than not, it’s both toe and camber being off that chew up tires. Seen someone did lowering, arms, and tires at the same time (but didn’t do alignment lol), and new tires were shredded to almost flat within 14 days of normal driving. Toe was way off. No exaggeration.

I’ll have to check the depth. I’m 99% positive it’s just the camber. When they did the alignment they said it wasn’t perfect, but within specs. I’ve got about 20k miles on the tires.

I ordered new camber arms and toe bolts.
