Re: More progress on the wagon! New part, new pictures. (9/11)
camber is correctable, and really not the problem. Ag-bullet runs h-techs with little abnormal tire wear, even with 3 degrees of negative camber (he runs this much on purpose, to try and compensate for a seriously tail happy sway bar setup), b/c his toe is correct. My point was that you shouldn't necessarily chalk it up to camber and give up on it, that simply taking the car and getting an alignment can work wonders. Camber is entirely correctable as well, and a lot cheaper than a new set of tires. His tire wear is, IMO, an extreme toe out condition. Sure, camber has something to do with it as well, but if it were truly camber, I'd expect to see more of a tread depth difference inside to out, instead of the shoulder just being demolished like it is. Lots of his posts have implied that he simply feels he can just raise and lower the car at will, which is true, except that doing so totally fuxors your toe settings.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here though, I come from the school of thought that a suspension should be set up to perform well, not to drag the undercarriage of the car over speed bumps to look cool. What was your toe set at when it was uber low? When was the last time you had it aligned?
