Alignment settings

[BlitZ]

I just got an alignment done..

I checked the setting when i got home..

The front looks good.
The rear looks abit weird..

I have just over 2degrees of camber..
He dialed in about 1mm of toe..

I called him later and asked about the toe..
he explained to me due to the excess camber.. you need to dial in toe for better wear and its normal .. everyone does it..


TRUE or NOT, does everyone do it?

Always thought toe to be zero for a street car for maximum wear factor.

2 degrees of camber?
how low are you?

[bennjamin]

he must be dialing in the toe for dynamic settings ( IE when cornering) since the geometry changes during that time.

the toe-in is is to counteract the affects of to much camber on the street.

Too much camber 'on its own' will wear the "insides of tyres".

Too much Toe-in 'on its own' will wear the "outsides".

If your car is lowered they are both 'used together' to promote even tyre wear.

Your settings are simular to mine, mine is lowered on Tiens, not sure what camber, but toe is 1+mm

We proabably did it at the same place eheheh.. you didnt go to JAX did you at livo?

it wull give me even wear but faster wear at the same time..

1mm toe is fine. What I've been told, its normal to have it around 1-3mm of toe. Also something about when your car, your steering "whatever" gets pulled back.

Isnt 2 degress nothing to worry about? Anything over 3 then start worrying.

Yeh, agreed ^^^

Just keep an eye on tyre wear. I am closely watching mine, as after the 1st alignment it was wearing slightly more in the insides still.

Nah, I live is brizzy and went to Fulcrum, I know other places also set them up this way.

dont know but my rears are -4 degrees and my toe is 0

That's because your Euro is lowered and you didn't get a camber kit for the rear (which you should).

[euro69]

can not.....
if i was to get a camber kit i would have to raise the car up...... rear has close to no space between wheels and guards
