camber kit adjustment ?

[doosra]

Hey guys..
I just bought a car.. and noticed that the right hand side wheels are worn on the inside, the left is fine.

It's already got a camber kit on it... i'm not too sure what i camber kit is, but i know its to ensure that this doesn't happen.. i guess to keep the wheels straight.

I just got buddyclub n+ coilovers..

Are the camber kits adjustable.. meaning that i need to get them adjusted so this doesn't happen. I know i have to get an alignment soon since i've just installed new suspension, but do i need the guys at the place to adjust the camber kit.. ?

just get a wheel alignment and tell them you have a camber kit. they will do the rest.

that easy aye.. ?
sweet as.. i'll do that when i get new tyres.. hopefully they chuck in free alignment..

just to let you know - the alignment is needed yes but the issue would be TOE. Camber isnt adjustable normally , and dosent have such a drastic effect unless your car is seriously LOW.

Get the wheel alignment people to adjust both front n rear to 0 degrees toe.

tho if he has a camber kit...its best to adjust camber back into spec

well my car is around 2.5" all round.. so its pretty low..
when u say "adjust both front a rear to 0 degree toe"
does that mean they won't be touching the camber kit.. i'm a noob...
i guess they should know if i just tell them.... i've got a camber kit and its wearing on the inside and just ask for an alignment aye..?

Have a look here for all definitions of:
Toe,
Camber,
Castor.
Etc...
It will explain everything.

Just ask them for a 'Wheel aligment'

Tell them that.
Tyres are wearing on the indsides,
and you have a camber it.

If it is anyone decent, they will be able to see the problem and solve it.

well i went to replace my tyres cause they were ALL worn out on the inside... i went to tempe tyres and got wheel alignment and told the guy "my tyres are all wearing on inside and its got a camber kit and i need a wheel alignment so it doesn't wear on inside" and he told me that because its so low that its still gonna wear on the inside cause if he adjusts too much.. it'll hit the guard.. i said "do ur best"....

what do you reckon ? issit always gonna wear on the inside.. ? i thought camber kits fix that sort of problem..

Yeh, the camber kit will eliminate the 'wearing on insides'. But what he is saying is that he cannot straight up the wheels enough to eliminate the inside wear, because it will rub on the guard or lip up the top.

Long term solution is pump your guards out a bit, you will have more clearance, so your can straighten the wheel up more or, look at some other rims/tyre with a larger offset so the wheel will sit in toward the car more, that will also give you more camber adjustment.

Okay..
hmmmmmm.... sounds like alot of work.. i'm thinking of raising it abit.. then getting another alignment to adjust it again..
