#14219, "Installed Ingalls 3 degree, but how come my tires still went bald?"
Does anyone know why? My tires were already bald, but I put on my Ingalls rear camber kit(bolts and washers) and like 2 months later my tires unwravel and you can see the metal now...I added all 4 washers on each side...maybe my tires were aleady on the verge of unwravling before I put on my kit huh? 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 10th Anniversary OZ Edition Check Out My Site For Pix http://mywebpages.comcast.net/EclipseRaceR/MyEclipse/

Did you put the kit on and then get an alignment or just put the kit on and keep driving it like that? An alignment is definantly a necessary part of the process.

Nope never got an alignment, guess that was it huh, because I was waiting till I got my front camber kit on, then i was going to get an alignment, Im just now starting to install the front. So lesson here boys and girls, DONT PROCRASTINATE specially on yur tires, cuz its a bitch to buy new tires. 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 10th Anniversary OZ Edition Check Out My Site For Pix http://mywebpages.comcast.net/EclipseRaceR/MyEclipse/

Yeh, definitely get an alignment. I have the Ingalls rear camber kit also and didn't get an alignment afterwards. I than started noticing abnormal tire wear, so I went and got an alignment which showed me that my camber was within spec but my toe was off. I'm not sure how much my 2" drop had to do with the toe being off, but I think it's always a good idea to get an alignment whenever u mess with the suspension, just my .02 cents (Alignment < Tires)

Not to go against getting an alignment, Id like to if I had money to spare, but I dont. My tires went bald fast after drop. Did the $15 camber mod plus a few more washers and tires look great. Well, bad actually, but only as bad as they did up until the $15 mod. Things dont seem to have changed much a month later, which is great. Before, a month was half the tire gone already. This is without an alignment. Ill still get one when I have money to spare, but not yet.

Are the inside of the tires bald or the outside? If it's not a toe problem (which i think it is) then it could be maybe you adjusted the camber TOO much if the outside of the tires are bald. Remember that stock camber on an eclipse is slightly negative to begin with.
