Camber bolts

Post by mitmaks »

I noticed insides of my wheels wear out faster. Do I need to install camber bolts or should I look into camber plates? Do I need camber bolts for rear struts as well? Car is as stock ride height.

Have you had an alignment? You only really need Camber bolts if your frame is bent or you have spring lag.

Stock ride height? Check your wheel alignment.. you are running to much toe out... go to 0 toe... camber isn't a major wear angle in its self... toe plays a big factor as well.

I didn't get one :( Im thinking I might buy a 'lifetime' Firestone alignment for my car, that way I can get it aligned as many times as I'd like to for a set price. I just checked and its $170 for a lifetime alignment at Firestone.

Not worth the money.. you will only get a quick toe and go set up from the rookie on staff. .. He probably won't understand how to do anything to fix your issue beyond setting things up so that they are in the green....

find a reputable alignment guy. Someone who is well known with custom setups. .

As Rob said camber bolts are mainly used to correct another component being faulty. Unless your one of them dumbass stunce guys
that fit one in each hole for mad camberz yo....

Toe settings are usually a bigger issue for tyre wear as opposed to camber.
