Bad Tire Wear Problem (pics included) UPDATED: Specs page 2

by **CamryOnBronze** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 5:45 pm

I have the same exact tires and have been rocking them with an extremely aggressive drop, no issues like that whatsoever. I am willing to bet the issue is all that front camber, that sounds like way too much...

Interesting we rock the same rims and tires.

Anybody know what range my camber should be within?

hmm this can also be caused but over inflated tire or parking it badly against a curb for a long period of time.

I checked the tire pressure weekly because the shop that did the alignment mentioned that. Im going to scan the paper they printed off their computer when they did my alignment that shows what it was and what they set it too. Ill post it tomorrow when I get it to work. Maybe one of you who knows what our car's alignment specs can see if its still out of spec. Or if someone knows where I can get that info or even just post it, that would help me out greatly.

Thanks!

I was running a search on google for "toyota solara alignment specs" and came up with this thread from Club lexus. One of the guys who replied had a 00 solara in his sig so google picked up on it.

My question is you guys say a -1 deg camber is what maybe causing it but the machine they use says its in spec. Should I take it back there and tell them to put it to 0 deg. Check out what this thread says. Like I mentioned in the post above Ill post my spec sheet I got from them tomorrow.

How's the toe? Toe's what really adds tire wear. A lil negative camber never hurt anyone but too much toe out or in can.

Well here is the data sheet they gave me when I got my car back from the alignment. Do any of you guys see any problems? Everything is green which means its in spec supposedly. Red is bad. This was from getting the alignment a second time this past summer. Again the first time was two years ago after I lowered my car.

Looks like the ones from our machines. It’s in, but man is that close. How was the fuel load in it when you had it aligned? If you had like a half-tank, or less your probably out with the full load. Also, if you’re big guy, you get a couple of people in there, or pick up some cargo, you’ll probably drop out. It’s not “out”, but it’s so close it wouldn’t take much to cause it to go out. I would see if you can get them to bump it closer to 0.

does that say 2 degrees of camber in the front? I would think thats way too much...

Are you talking about the Camber or something else?

Camry on Bronze the driver front says -1.2 and driver right -1.1. Your looking at the Caster

Hehe you're right, I am gonna blame the pain killers. Sorry about that...

Ok Im confused now... Is my camber just inside the spec or where you also looking at the caster setting thinking it was my camber setting.

Thanks
