#3628, "Is this true???"


          

Check it out, my rear tires are wearing from the inside so I got them aligned right and the guy says they were hella off...So now after that would I still need to get a rear camber kit? Some other guy also told me that I dont need one that I should get a lower strut tie bar and that would correct the problem?

He wants you to get a lower tie bar to fix this? I don't see how a lower tie bar would correct an alignment issue. If everything is within spec you are fine. If they aligned it and got it to where it shouldbe you are fine. But if Camber is still off then you'll need camber kits.

no, he said to correct the rear camber I would need one. But if it was aligned and up to par then it is cool without rear cambers. I mean it didnt start doing that until a little over a year after I had my first alignment when I got my car lowered with them. Since that time I have not had a alignment until just recently when I noticed the rear tires wearing from the inside and the fronts a little.

if its lowered, you should definitely get a rear camber kit... AND.. if its worn severely on the INSIDE.. its not a camber problem, its TOE OUT! if its worn gradually worse from out to in, then its camber.
