Need Help!
#14
If your rear tires are bald on the inside, you need a camber kit 100%. That is what happened to me. No amount of attempted alignments will correct it, the rear just does not have the adjustment to actually correct the camber. They can adjust toe which i'm told can have a little affect on the camber.
Within factory spec. really does not mean anything good. My alignments were all done at ford dealerships. They were all "within spec" however, spec was with factory wheels, I was running 17s and wore them right down in under 20,000km.

One prob i ran into was that I rotated the tires, when i went in for the alignment, they tried to tell me the front & rears were way out of wack. the wear appeared to be both front and rear, when infact the culprit was the rears all along.

Cutting the frame for the fronts, never heard of it. The camber kit needs a bolt cut off that's welded to the knuckle, but I wouldn't call it "cutting the frame".

Here are links to my last aligment, Apex 60/40 Sport Kit (shocks/struts/springs) and a Steeda Camber Kit, 17" rims with Kumhos. I was in to have the rears verified, as I had just installed the camber kit.
