Hello,

I installed my KYB AGX and TEIN S-tech the other day and after taking off the driver side front tire I noticed that this wheel had a lot of wear from negative camber. All the other wheels were fine. After the install I took a small level and put it against the passenger and it was fine but the driver side still has a lot of neg camber nothing really noticable from the outside. Does anyone know how to correct. I have already had an alignment. Should I take it back and tell them about the neg camber?

Thanks,

lok

When did you get the alignment, directly after the installation or before?

Are you sure it's from camber and not toe in/out? Toe/caster will wear your tires way faster than negative camber will.

Yeah, I would get an alignment and make sure the toe is within spec. It takes a noticeable amount of neg camber to wear away your tires.

I run about -3 degrees of camber on my fronts(on purpose). My front toe is set at 0. No significant wear issues. In fact when I had my tires flipped on my wheels, the shop was suprised at how well it was wearing. And they had no idea I was running so much camber when they said that.
