Is this camber or toe wear?

M

 

posi camber causes it to be on the outside, the toe caused it to be that severe

 

Excessive toe causes that kind of wear as well.

 

Just had mine done. 0.5 camber on both sides. My tires look fine so far but, I only have about 800 miles on them.

Edit: Did you ever rotate that set of tires?

 

Just flip it around... You will be good! haha.

 

its that toe... jezus that toe number was HUGE.... idealy you should be right at .08 - .1* of toe per side... you are 6x that which is 100% the cause of your huge wear difference.

The positive camber will wear the outside edge a bit more and ideally you want a smidge of negative camber to negate the effects of a rolling bead on turns to promote even tire wear. -0.2 to -0.4* of camber would be ideal.


But paired together the insane toe in and positive camber will ruin tires quickly as you have found.


Personally if you are that high on the caster, id sacrifice a bit of caster to get into some negative camber for even better tire wear.

 

Maybe it's just me, but that is quite obvious and I probably would've fixed it a long time ago?

 

Before you do anything make sure all componets are not worn out. Ball joints, tie rods, bushings, wheel bearings as well as any possible frame damage.

 

How did you not notice wear like that 10 months ago?

I second the recommendation to check associated parts for issues. What caused the toe to be off >1/2 on each side?

 

Last time I saw one that bad, another tire shop had left the tie rod end nuts loose, and the tie rod end on one side had spun out about half an inch. I'm not sure about the 2wd, but on the 4wd, the hunter machine says .6 positive camber. Since I've lifted mine and put UCA's on, I run 0 camber and 3.2/3.5 caster, and it drives good.
