Camber wear problem

[nism014]

I just noticed that i have a mean camber wear problem. my front tires are completely bald and showing threads on the far inside of the tire at the corner before the sidewall. But the rest of the tires have lots of meat left on it. The bald strip is only about an inch in width.

The thing is that my camber plates are set all the way positive and I can't adjust any more camber. I never got my car aligned after I put my coilovers on(i just eyeballed it). I am running 30mm 5lug spacer with some crappy high offset milano rims. I just got my tension rods in the mail and am going to order some tie rod spacers for increase steering angle before getting my car aligned.

When I look at my car from the front the front tires don't look like they are cambered much compared to before. you guys think alignment will fix this? Is my cross-member tweaked? or is something else tweaked?

yea its your alignment. even though you only see a little bit of camber, it is probably more like 4 or 5 degrees of camber. which is alot. take it to a shop or sears and get it aligned. camber also has to do with how high or low you set the car. for a quick fix you could raise your car so you have less camber...but for a perminate fix put your tie rod spacers and tension rods on and get an alignment

It's not a camber problem, it's a toe problem.

It'd be cheaper for you to get a $60 alignment than replacing tires.

Trust me, I know.

I replaced the string with some lasers levels from home depot and can crawl around the car without hitting the string now. You can set toe in about 15 mins now. Still less than $100
