15504, Another camber problem... help plz
Posted by oMInOUs97RS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Ok guys, here's the new problem. I JUST put on my new tires 3 weeks ago after putting my ingall's front camber kit on. Well, yesterday I was not pleased when I was changing my tranny fluid because I saw that my new tires were BALD! YES, BALD! Tonight on my way home from work, my pass. front tire blew out about 10 miles away from home... sucks ass.
Ok, here's the deal. Apparently, my tire is hitting the upper control arm when I hit a bump or take a turn. I know my struts are worn, but not completely gone, or shouldn't be. I have skunk 2 coilovers, and enkei 18" wheels with parada spec 2 225/45/18 tires. Obviously I need a new set of tires, but do I need a different camber kit, or did I do anything wrong when I put the camber kit in? (I followed all the directions)

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, especially if I don't have to spend 240 bux on the kit that the shop that tried to allign my car said I needed.
Thanks!

I already went to an alignment shop and they told me I needed a different camber kit, the ball joint type. My problem right now is, I had the tires for about 3 weeks and they're dead. The bottom of the upper control arm ball joint is hitting the tire when I hit bumps.

Anyone?

I have skunk2's all the way down in the front with tokico blues and 40 series tires. I don't have a camber kit in the front, and although my tires are wearing unevenly, I still have plenty of tread and it's been almost a year. Maybe it's the fact that you have 45 series tires? I have enkie 18's as well. The 45 series tires is the only thing I can think of.
