alignment for inner tyre wear due to high camber
LsBeema replied to LsBeema's topic in Wheels & Tyres
Hi guys. I work at a Bridgestone tyre center. I notice slight drifting left to right when leaving the steering while driving,as a normal testing procedure,and the excessive tyre wear on fronts and l/rear .so I swopped front tyres left to right on the rims,and had to replace the l/rear tyre.here are the specs Front: cambers uneven.L high,non adjustable,so are the casters. too much toe out hence the inner tyre wear,and had a heavy steering,thought it could of been the pump.or me needing more gym Rear:left camber high with toe out,not good at all.there must be ample toe in with high camber to cancel out inner tyre wear. Standard inspection for any steering,bushing or bearings done. -
Hi beemer comrades. Because of the adjusties, camber gets abit high,so inner threads get eatin. swopped tyres over left to right first .having directional tyres is a must for high camber.

Yea bro. Thats all gud. Even though my boss dislikes many if not all euro cars, we repair all sorts. checked battery strenght which was 568 CCA out a 620CCA beast, and a 14.2 charging rate with loads on from thee alternator checked the neg voltage of the anti freeze/water ratio for weakness or corrosion -

Thanks guys . She's truly a jewel(not M3/M5/csl ), but man she rides so smooth.just stiffer with thee lowness, but amazingly comfy. heres the service sheet that we work with and I plan on going through the whole service in the forum(maybe 3yrs to load pics though )haha. I also machined the front rotors at work,fitted new pads,bendix premiums,which work great, swopt over front tyres left to right,cos was eating inner,and did an alignment to compensate for the hard camber cos of the drop.documented all with photos.
