Tyre scrub and lock diff

[tridentt150v]

I've got a nismo lock diff [nismo boxes, clunks around corners etc] and other suspension parts [came with car].

The camber on the system is set up so that the tyres are scrubbing out on the inside. They look fine on the outside, but if you look underneath they are worn on the inside.

Also, the left tyre was way bald [and I didn't even know], but the drivers side tyre was only 50%.

I had 'em off 12 months ago, and the wear was the same for both tyres.

Anyone had experience like this?? Can the camber be adjusted on the rear???

Time for a decent wheel alignment, if it doesn't already have them, I strongly suggest a set of Whitleine camber adjusters (bushes) front and rear.

Thanks Sydney kid, knew I could rely on you. I haven't got to whiteline yet [as per your recommendation], a busy lifestyle, work and 400 km are my excuse. but I do intend to get there, and I think they will likely solve a fair few of my alignment/suspension needs. This just makes it more imperative that I do so. Now all I have to do is convince the better half that spending $$$$ on the vehicle is good.

Just do what i do and tell her "It's broken love, i don't want to take you to because it's dangerous!

how do you think I got my new front struts?

You could try the "saving money line", it goes something like this...

"I really need to get a wheel alignment, the tyres are wearing out, $200 once to get the geometry fixed is better than spending $1,000 on new tyres all the time". It usually works, mostly because its true.

yeah, but I gotta sort out my rock hard jap suspension, front springs/rear springs swap over, new softer springs on the back, and maybe lower sway bars etc [still got yr pm about it here], so $200 is a starting point, the end point is likely to be $500+. Plus fuel, accom etc What the heck, haven't even touched 2007 wages yet [next years is all gone already].

Get a lot of shoes and hairdo's for $500 lol. But it will happen.
