Need Help...Supension/Camber Probs

[240sxOwner]

Ok guys heres the deal....My suspension consists of 17 inch rims on 205/40/17's, KYB AGX, Ground control coilovers, Tien upper adjustable pillowball mounts and the eibach camber bolts. To the naked eye my front tires look straight up and down (0 Degree Camber), but i bought new tires in october, and i went in for my inspection today and my left front tire is almost bald to the core on the inside...while the right tire is perfect. What is going on..my camber plates are maxxed out on + camber. Will an alignment fix this or do i just need a new suspension. Please help....

Ok, 1st, there's a thing called routine maintenance. At least once a month, you should have the wheels off the car especially if your running it hard. Things break and wear out and it's always best to catch a LITTLE problem EARLY. I can't see your tires, and don't know how long the suspension has been on the car and what kind of alignment you had done after you installed it, but your toe could be off on that side. Or something else may have been out of whack and the new larger tires/ diff diameter wheels excaserbated an earlier problem.

My advice would be to take your car to a decent alignment shop and tell them that you want to see what your car is at right now before you pay them to "fix" your alignment. It doesn't take them anything to put your car on the machine and have the sensors put on. (I had NTB do this when I 1st put on my suspension). If it's somehting they can fix, let them. Either way, you have a better idea what is out of spec. If your tires are wearing that badly, there is obviously a problem and sooner or later your going to end up at a good alignment shop anyways...unless you like chewing tires.
