How to best adjust camber?

Holy fucking Search/Thread Jack/Back From The Dead Thread/Etc....



If you lower the front of your car, you will have more camber. If you don't want camber, don't lower your car. If you don't want tire wear, get it fucking aligned and don't drive like a shithead.

time for a new tampon?

A new set of rear trailing arm bushings will do more to save your tires than anything.

Knockenwel I would like to correct you baised off my experience working on formula 3 racecars as well as a couple other track vehicles. Toe out does not cause a scrubbing of the inner part of the tire, the negative camber will. Toe out wont even scrub speed compared to the wheels being straight foward. I see alot of people posting things these days and dont have their facts straight. Not knocking you, just correcting your mistake...

so is that why my car ate a set of tires in about a month because my toe was all screwed up? ;)

er, I was replying to it. I was implying that the cause of my extreme tire wear was caused by a bad toe setting, and it was, because I had the car aligned and the next set of tires (same kind) lasted much longer.

FYI I disagree based on my personal experience. Not knocking you, maybe its a open wheel vs tin top thing, but I really have always had a different result than you with race cars.

Its harder for me to push a dead racecar with 1/4 toe out, than it is to push a car with -4 camber.

Yes.

oh yeah, it also squealed like a pig when I pushed it on my epoxied garage floor. Definitely some resistance there.
