I have had this problem for quite a while. My front driver side tire keeps wearing out quickly abnormally. When I checked this, I noticed that when I turn the wheel to the left, the camber becomes very negative, kind of like the wheel is going to pop off if I take a sharp left. But when I turn it to the right, the camber corrects, and if I’m not mistaking, it actually turns to positive. When the wheels are straight, I could still see the negative camber. I have already changed the spindle, tie rods, an upper control arms. I aligned the car last month and it was still like this. I have to replace the lower ball joint, but I don’t think this is the case because I did last year when I replaced the spindel, but its shot again. Im trying to get this fixed soon, as I’m purchasing the omni
full coils, and will be having 17" racing harts with tires that will be too expensive to be replacing in 3 months. Could this be the lower control arm?
what are the exact alignment spec’s?
that im not sure of, but im going to replace the ball joints with adjustable camber ones, and realign it. I’ll make sure I get those specs this time.
Hmm, only things left are radius rods or LCA’s. LCA’s aren’t likely to bend, so unless one of the attachment points on the unibody is f*cked, I would guess your front crossmember is bent slightly giving it crazy wear.
Do you know of any accidents that the car’s been involved in?
well i have replaced the front crossmember last year due to a crate that hit it, but it’s been attached at the original location of the bolts. I forgot to tell you guys that the car looks lower on that side, so could the problem be coming from my shocks/springs being shot?
it would help alot if you would post pics of the car, the wear on the tire, and the alignment specs. if you are saying that when you turn the wheel to the left the wheel becomes negative??? this is almost impossible unless you installed the wrong parts or your alignment is completely fucked in which case even ray charles could see that problem. you are asking for help, but not giving out enough info to slove the problem.
