Rear Camber Adjustment?

Alright so I have another problem. My rear wheels bend out a little bit at the bottom.... I have 17" Enkei EDR9's with 215/45/17 Yokohama s-drive tires. They are wearing out must faster on the inside of the tires. I am at stock height and don't see why this would be happening. Do I need to get a camber kit :http://www.procivic.com/pages-produc...673/index.html or what would I need to do to correct this? I don't want to keep replacing tires every summer. Any help would be much appreciated. I know that the alignment shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Rear Camber Adjustment?

It's called negative camber. At stock hieght you should only need to get an alignment done. Whoever does your alignment will tell you if you need addition parts, but it should not be required.

The thing is that I already did get an alignment when I first got these wheels. It didn't do anything to correct the negative camber.

Maybe the guy half assed it, or just did the front. Take it to a different shop this time, and make sure they do the front and rear. Like I said with stock hieght you should only need stock hardware.

Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. Well thanks man! I'll look into getting another rear alignment!

Re: Rear Camber Adjustment?

Or you have spring sag and need new springs or a camber kit. Your springs are 9 years old now.

Re: Rear Camber Adjustment?

Yeah my springs are pretty old but my rear isn't any lower than my front. Is it possible to measure that?

Re: Rear Camber Adjustment?

If you have sag ALL the springs would sag, not just the back. I had the same problem, back camber was off 2 degrees on both sides. I had original springs and 17's. Got new springs and it solved the camber issues. Although a camber kit would have done the trick. It sucks but, 3 years later and I need new ones again. The potholes around here suck.
