Quick camber question???
My rear tires are wearing evenly......
But the furthest inside edge only barely a 1/2" in width is wearing out.
Not even visible until the tire is off the car... Worn all the way down to the belts???
Advice please.. Stock alighnment specs on lowering springs currently..
Thanks

Lowering the car increase the negative camber. Did you get an alignment after putting the springs on?

Rubbing on something?

Toe is usually more of a problem than camber
