tires 1 weeks old kumho ecsta mx 205-55-16


PROBLEMS:
at highway speeds, steering wheel vibrates, on occasion.

seems the car pulls slight to right

excessive tire wear after 1 week (practiced drifting 2 nights)
on outer portion of tires




SOLUTIONS TRIED:
tire pressure front: 36 Rear: 34

alignment:
Front left camber -1.1 right -1.8
Toe is 0.03 degrees in on both
SAI is 14.3

rear left camber is -1.6 and right is -2.1
toe is 0.09 degrees in and 0.06 degrees in

i mean, does EVERYONE's car run perfectly straight all the time?? based on my settings, does my car run to the right cuz of the excessive camber on both right wheels? also, would replacing all the bushing with an energy suspension kit put an end to the steering wheel shaking at high speeds??

someone?

any other ideas?

check your caster. Mine is way off on the right, so my car pulls to the right. Sucky bushings can cause alignment problems?
