camber wear on stock DC2R?

[ITR032]

im up for new tyres for my DC2R and when i was looking at them i saw that the inside of the tyres has worn much more than the outside.
can the stock DC2R camber be adjusted?
im pretty sure its not toe wear.

There is no camber adjustment on a stock DC2R. You might be able to get a minor bit of adjustment out, but there not adjustment as such. I'd get a wheel alignment done at a proper sussy place. They'll get the readouts for you and you can see what the issue is.

where is a good place to take it?

check your front upper arm bushings and ball joint.

how can i check them? are those pictures of good or bad ones?

[mocchi]

you comfortable with jacking the car up and remove front wheels?
if youre not, just take it to mechanics. if you can, check for any sign of damage on those 3 points.
2 rubber bushings on the part where it bolts up to chassis and 1 part where it connects to knuckle (knuckle is the one that hold your brakes)

yeah i can do that haha
i had a look, nothing seems out of the ordinary. im going to get an alignment this week hopefully.
i dont want to get new tyres and the same thing happen to them also..
would the 0'3" stock camber do this sort of wear?
its about 10% on the inside and 80% on the outside for wear

You don't have camber problems, you have too much toe out. Toe out is the biggest cause of inside tyre wear. even with a few degrees of camber you won't get the sort of wear your describing.

thank you! okay i will get an alignmment and the new tyres and i should be okay for a while *touch wood*
would toe out affect handling in any way?

Yep, if its skewed more one side then the other it will pull the car to one side.

When I had mine done I had 27mm of toe out on my left side, made the car feel a lot nicer afterwards.

[ITR032]

there is no pull when accelerating or braking so i guess the toe is even? both tyres are pretty worn out.. i rotated them for the time being to the 'better' wheels

[Paul.Z]

yeah mate toeing out is your problem even a bit of toeing out, over time it'll wear the insides of your tires. so yeah get new tires + a wheel alignment don't go to a place where there's a line to get your wheel alignment because they'll just to a quick shitty job (know from experience of working at such places) go to a jax tires, bob jane etc they should give you a warranty for the wheel alignment.

cheers

Individual toe 'LHS +1.1mm RHS -1.6"

After 'lhs -0.1mm rhs -0.1mm'




Looks like all they did was adjust your front toe.

Should be much better from now on....

keep away from kerbs and pot holes y0~

Looks really good IMO. Car has never been in a structural accident for sure you'd think...
