[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 3237320, member: 27518"] Most tire wear issues usually related to worn bushings, so check that before buying a camber kit camber kits are ORIGINALLY meant to fix the camber when you lower the car/alter the suspension. It was never meant to fix tire wear issues. unless you've lowered your car, the stock camber arm should do just fine. Please note how fast your tire wears. If you have inner wear that is quite rapid, then I'd say you have a toe problem. Of course, this will likely happen after I say this. "But I did alignment and everything is ok!" in which case, let me save time and explain why the alignment machine is only as good as your bushes. During acceleration on the front wheel drive, the wheels automatically toe in a bit (or more, if your bushing is really worn. That's where the tire wear issues happen. Or sometimes, if the tire alignment technician set it to minimal toe out -0.2 or something, the toe out will wear the insides of the tire too, but instead of while acceleration, this happens when you are coasting (off throttle) That's why even if you set a 0 degs, sometimes tire wear issues happen. Camber also plays a part, but not so much. with minus -2 camber on each wheel (okay, I did lower my car) but I only see noticable inner wear after 5000kms, and even then it's not really extreme, but when that 5000km is a month's mileage.. well.. I needed to do something about it, which was why I bought the s2 camber kit. (front and rear) They look very beefy, but the rear camber arm bush tends to squeak (at very low speeds ONLY, like goin over a bump). I thought about putting poly grease (different from regular grease) like I did to my front, but thinking of all the sand that's going to stick to the grease and then get embedded in the bush, I opted not to do it. Been using them for a year plus now. Probably closer to two. And I've never ever needed to set them again after the initial first time installation. [/QUOTE]
