    Camber off = new track rods?

    Well in 9,000 miles I managed to destroy my front-offside Toyo T1-S... the inside of the tyre is very bald! Checking the alightment print-out, it was noted that this wheel's camber was about -1.2 while the other was -0.something, as it wouldn't adjust to the recommended. I figure this is probably related!

    So, it seems like a convenient time to fit replacement front tyres, though I'd like to get a bit more mileage this time!! Would replacement track rod ends sort out the problem? Could worn bushes be a culprit? I could do with a little shopping list to sort this out, so any BTDT appreciated.

    Cheers
    Ross

    PS Keep the shopping list as short as poss. 'coz this month is gonna deplete my savings already

    Track rod ends dont effect camber they effect toe in and toe out Ross.

    Consider worn wishbone bushes and worn ball joints

      OK cheers Jamo. Wasn't sure, hence post.

      Oh, I got some front Bilstein's to go with the rear shocks I bought off ya. Figured I may as well get those fitted at the same time Guess I better look into balljoints 'n bushes...
