Guest Anonymous Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 My '79 280ZX eats up tires in the front! The inside of my tires wear to metal within 6000 miles. I think it is a bad camber angle, but from what I know, that's not adjustable on this car, and signifies component wear. Which components do you think could be torn up? I've also seen an "adjustable camber angle" kit in the Motorsport cat. and wondered if those would be ... #1 Worth the money #2 Similar components to what I'd need anyway. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 It can be multiple factors. Have you personally jacked up the front & made a visual inspection. Look for cracks in the rubber components of your suspension parts. Or it could be as simple as a front end alignment. When new tires are installed do you feel a hard pull, or a light pull for that matter, to the right/left? I had a Coralla that had a "Thru-bolt' hole for the lower control arm wollered out; when new tires were installed, even after new steering and suspension parts, it would still wear tires badly. It was my beater & I wasnt about to remove the crossmember for replacement nor did I ever try to weld a bead of metal on it to remove the tolerances; I just put up w/rpl of tires every 30k miles(michelins). I said all that to make this point: Front end repairs arent always straight forward. The first step is to make a visual inspection & go from there.
