Question about my AGX'S

[Nismo_Dj]

so my inner front tires are wearing unevenly . my mechanic says its because of the struts/shocks. im riding on kyb agx and there no sound from the struts other than it chirping but that could be the tein stech springs also. usually when struts/shochs go bad there is some sort of clunking sound. but i dont have any noise. i probably have less than 10k on the agx's and i dont drift or go over any potholes. so i bought 2 new front agx's which hasnt come in yet. but i assume i can still cancel.so im wondering if im wasting my money or is there something else like camber issues? im on 18's and are 18x7.5 Offset is +42 in the fronts. someone please advise thnx

Some neg camber and or toe in can cause inner tires to wear. If it's not your shocks, it can be other things like worn outer tie rod or ball joints.

Or you can just get an alignment.

already got an alignment twice and balance the tires as well. still the same

[ashibah83]

well how much camber are you running???

if you have a chirping sound it could be your ball joints

[Nismo_Dj]

i dont think im running any camber, whatever stock is.

You need camber plates for the fronts to have corrected camber.

Running a low setup on the AGX struts keeps the strut centered at the tower mount, but since the control arm is moved upwards, you have negative camber.

What kinda springs are you using? I had eibach sportlines (lower drop than pro kit) and I never saw significantly uneven treadwear, even on the Amish buggy rutted roads!

But yes, in order to fix this you will either need to get coilovers with the plates, or if you want to keep the struts, drill out the hole in the strut's knuckle mount in the respective direction that fixes your excessive negative camber. IE: If looking straight at the wheel so it looks like O, rotate the top of the wheel toward you.

Most of us enjoy a -1~2 degree camber for cornering. Rotate those tires more often?Hope that halps!
