you dont mention if you have lowered it or not also.- if it is than the camber will cause it to wear a little more. otherwise yea to the other reasons above.

Nah I havent lowered it. I reduced the tyre pressure slightly, my bro reockoned I mite have been pumping it a bit too high. How do I check the camber adjustment?

I only really noticed it on the rear tyres

just take it into an alignment place and get a 4 wheel alignment- if youve never had one may as well get it anyway. That will cost between 35-60 depending where you go. What pressure your tyres at? Although it does vary 28-30psi should be sweet.

get a 4 wheel alignment
tell em to set the front at 1 deg negative, when they try and tell u they will wear, tell em to shut up and do it. it will transform the handling.
also fit a towbar, you will be amazed at the difference that will make in stifness

28-30 is a bit low. keep it between 32-36.
no higher, youll be amazed how hot tyres cab get. and with higher temps comes higher pressuere.

i run my ae101 on dunlop fm901s at 34-36 on the front and 32-34 at the rear. usually only run the higher pressures on road trips when its wet.

no idea redmist. have not done any measuering or anything. all i know is my front is set to 1 degree and with the pressures i run and my driving style the tyres wear perfectly even and it handles so so so well.
set to factory spec it understeered badly. i even had it rechecked to make sure it had been set up properly.

not sound right to you?

airnz, dunno try it an see. i havnet played with any others.
you need a bit of negative anyway. positive is bad!

Inner tyre wear will mean one of two things either excessive negative camber or more than likely toe OUT not in .
If u want a wheel alignment gve me a holler sum time and levins and truenos don't have adjustable fornt camber unless u put in after market eccentric bolts to adjust camber 8)

i'd say that he knows that given he owns one - think the point was that they're available if needed

now now ppl no fighting over me! :lol:

as they come from the factory there is no real adjustment in the camber.
if you so wish you can get smaller dia bolts that allow some adjustment. they are only about $15 each irc

well worth it in my opinion 8)

acutally they range from $8.30 to $11 plus gst rrp.
so pretty cheap for the gains you can get!

they are avail for most toyotas.

this doesnt apply to s/s though casue of the different layout. i think you need camber plates for them
