Guest Zpeed Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hey guys when replacing my snaped moustache bar over the weekend, i noticed that my rear tyres are going quite bald in the inner side, and its like the outer has not even been touched... I don't do standstill burnouts, only spinning from the lights, and sideways action etc.. and as i still got in the stocky inline 6, it doesn't have extremes amout of power, so i dont understand i do have aftermarket wheels, that the last owner put it, also stock suspension.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Look at your car from the rear. Do the rear tires do this? / Have the camber on the rear checked. If you have excessive negative camber, it will cause that wear pattern. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Yeah, Like Mark said. It is most likely the result of the neg. camber, esp. if your springs are sagging, which will increase the wear on the inner section of the tread. It is a symptom that many (dare I say all) IRS vehicles have. Next time you see a BMW or Mercedes, have a look at the wear pattern, it will be worn more on the inside. If the tyres are wearing VERY quickly, then they are toe-ing out too much, which excessive toe (in or out) will wear tyres much, much quicker than camber, because the tyres are constantly being 'scrubbed'.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Yeah and the more you lower them, the worse it gets... Its a catch 22, add camber plates gain rattling noises, but better tire wear, or tire wear and no noise. The bad part of a strut style suspension IMHO.

blueovalz Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 I prefer the "modified driving style" approach to fixing uneven tire wear due to excessive camber. On a weekly basis, find a cloverleaf early Sunday morning when traffic is nill, attempt a new top speed through all four turns (total of six consequetive) and then head to early service at church. Tire wear is nice and even again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Ive got the same problems on the front. I dunno if it was the crappy suspension technique springs or not. Im contemplating on buying some of the "spacers" from MSA to fix it. Can an alignment shop fix the camber?? Is this a problem with all lowered Z's?? thanks, franklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boobala Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I had a 200,000 mile Supra with the same problem. Replacing the (sagging) rear springs fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
