Alignment and tire longevity? Replacement tires?

WhiskeyHotel

From the factory, Z's have no adjustment for camber, front or rear.

That is interesting. So, not having adjustment.. does that mean it is not possible for the camber to get out of whack? Or does it mean that if you do get the camber out of whack, there is no fixing it?

The camber and caster are locked, there is nothing to adjust which means it really can't go out of alignment unless you bend something that isn't supposed to bend. At that point the only way to correct the alignment is to replace whatever part you bent.

If you want a non-stock front alignment you need replacement upper control arms. They add considerable weight but give you about 5 degrees camber and 2.0 degrees caster adjustment range.

correct... the front is not adjustable.


but YES the rear camber IS adjustable.

How so? Isn't it a solid piece? If it is please enlighten me, cause my rear wheel camber cost me $600 on new tires within 3 months

There are cam bolts at the end of the 2 controls arms to adjust camber and toe. If you are lowered then the stock cam bolts may not be enough to restore to a factory alignment spec.

Not true at all. Rear camber is adjustable.
