(10-29-2010, 12:06 AM)stan one issue that has become obvious is that my front camber is WAY off. in only a couple thousand miles, its scrubbed most of the outer edge of the front tires off. i'm not sure wtf could cause this....do our cars have camber adjustments that i could have corrected, or am i pretty much going to have to chop my front springs?

wouldn't the tire sanding in less than a 1000 miles more likely be a toe problem? I don't see how even with absolutely horrible camber it would wear that fast, all the wear would be in one spot, but it would not be super fast wear. For example, if you super overload one of these sedans, you have a major camber alteration, but even then, the tire does not wear down in such speed.

I feel like you have a toe problem if the sanding is so fast. Even if the car tracks straight, you could still have a toe problem, I once worked on a cube truck which was rolling nice and straight, but was cooking the tires twice as fast as the other trucks. Turned out that it was toed in way more than spec, did not create a pull or wander, but it ate the tire up fast.

I would also verify the toe before I messed with the eccentric bolt personally. You can do a toe alignment in the driveway easily as well.

If i were him, my placement of choice for lights like that would be on that Uber-rack he has on there. From half a mile away at night his car will look like a truck of some sort, or an ambulance or something.
