Sounds like you have Positive Camber. Too much postive camber causes the outsides of the tires to wear faster than the insides.

ask 4-g-rim. i think he has one for sale

[skrap]

ok will that one that mko came up with work with positive camber??? if so i dont know how to measure if its right. ok mko just pm'd him. thanks

[mko]

usually camber kits work from -2 to +2 deg, or -3 to +3 deg


He has the ingalls kit

ive noticed your car was sitting too high, idk why, mine was never that high on stock springs

pos. camber? lol that's wierd, don't think many people on here have that problem.

the balljoint camber kits are MUCH better than the bushing style.


i had the bushing-style kit for about a year. the problem is that the rubber is cheap and wears out and then you have an upper A arm rocking around and making noise. they're not safe, they're actually kind of weak, and i would not recommend anyone get them. i had to replace them in just under a year and a half because all 4 of them were completely blown and my a arm was making a ton of noise on metal-to-metal contact.


the balljoint camber kits are far superior and i think a tech at mitsu would actually approve of these. i've had mine for almost 3 years now and they're still holding up fine. bullet proof construction, and as of 3 years they still havn't worn out.

i know you're trying to kill pos. camber for your car, in that case you install these backwards and it puts you back into the negative. but another reason why these are better than the bushing OBX-style ones is that those move out your entire upper A arm to the outside of the car when you're making your camber more neg, and if you go too much the outside of the arm actually starts hitting the material underneath the fender. noise and rubbing material results, and this is never safe. with the balljoint style camber kits, you're only moving the knuckle itself, while keeping the a arm's orientation the same.

i have the suspesion technique camber bushings that go in instead of the stock bushings and i havent had problems so far.

i know its very weird. when i saw it it was looking like crown vic on 24''. usually the galants rear is sagged but his was very high, as well was front. he had AGX with stock springs

[skrap]

i also only have half of my energy bushing put on its only the front set.... idk why its so dam high...... And also mko i just got those new rims on. lemme go and find my camera ill try and take some picks....

are you talking about this style? i havn't personally used these, but i hear good things. if mko says they're good then they're good, that's your other option to the balljoint ones

[skrap]

here we are

It doesnt look too bad to me. now that ni have my rims on.

this is my good tire in the back

this one is my front passenger.

this used to be my front driver side but i rotated it to the rear

and heres my motor cuz you guys dont know what it looks like lol


so as you can see the tire wear is only from 2 months of driving..... it did it to my old tires but not this fast..... so yea i need some help.

[mko]

the height is good, its not too high. Im almost positive the rear toe isnt correct. when was the last time you did an alignment. Sometimes when i go for an alignment the tech tells me that the rear toe is not adjustable, and guess what i sent the car right back.

[skrap]

can they fix that??? right now the tires are kinda forward in the wheel well because the bushings dont really exsist anymore. I need to get a hold of some lower control arms befor i do the bushings.... Mko you got ne hook ups?

[mko]

i can get the control arms, but why the lower? usually the bushing that goes is the upper one on the spindle where the upper control arm is bolted. see if this one is bad

[skrap]

Im talking about the lower control arm that has the balljoint. The boots cracking and im sure its an original. So before i go spending a lot of time putting the bushing in i want one with a newer balljoint

[mko]

the toe arm takes alot to be worn out, cuz there is no movement there. Its just the boot that gets dried out and falls apart. i got one of these polyurethane red boots from pepboys and put it on top of the original, so no debris gets in there, and had no problem since. the problem with these control arms is the toe bolt in the rear subframe, it gets very rusted. if you notice that bolt has a scale with degrees and this is where you can adjust the rear toe
