stock suspension negative rear camber?

IDZRVIT · 05-12-2012, 07:53 PM

My rears have -2.0 deg camber. The tires are wearing out, almost worn out after 10K miles, on the outside - not the inside. Any ideas why?

Are you driving it hard in the corners?

Nismos will where out the inside rubber if you drive it hard.if you get it lined up make sure they use nismo settings.

You're likely going around corners rather spiritedly. LOL. Add more negative camber or slow down on your turns.

Are you tracking your car?

Car is not driven hard and will never see a track. 5K of those miles were on interstates on a road trip from Nova Scotia to Tennessee last fall and put away for the winter. Any other ideas? Dealer checked the alignment and said this was normal wear. I disagree.
