Wheel Alignment - Odd Tyre Wear

[JohnL]

, not to get a lecture on how terrible my suspension setup is .

Aplologies, not meant as a lecture, just observations on camber. So many people use so much, seemingly for no better reason than that they see a lot of racing sedans using a great deal, without really understanding why nor what the compromises might be.

I do stand by my asssertion that cars with double wishbone suspension require and benefit from less static camber than cars with Mac struts.

My suspension is being held back to Macpherson strut performance because my front suspension is Macpherson strut .

I feel for you, really I do! Having bagged them so hard, Mac struts can be set up to work OK, amd a well set up Mac strut will outperform a poorly set up anything else...

I can nearly lift my inside front wheel on track so I am not super worried about the very poor camber that the inside wheel has.

IMO it's not such an issue at mid corner at high levels of weight transfer with the IF largely unloaded, but leading up to mid corner when lateral acceleration and weight transfer are less and we are depending to some degree on IF grip then poor IF camber can contribute to understeer.

You are correct though, tyre temps suggest that my camber is a little excessive with higher inner temps and a differential of a few degrees across the tread. Nothing extreme though and the setup works.

Good! Mac struts can work better than they have any theoretical right to, though I still contend, all else being equal, a good double wishbone will always beat a good Mac strut...
