WHen I got my alignment done...a year later... my right front tire was Toeing..angled in... tires wearing on the inside fast...so i fixed it... but depending on how much camber you got... a camber kit would be ideal... an alignment wont completely fix the treadwear problem... but would for sure be WAAAYYY better than NOt having an alignment..

**edit** woops... thought I replied to the other one...

 

where did you get the alignment done at?

 

ranchhill motorsports.... homies shop.... align all four

 

Just to make sure things are clear hear for others that may read this



1) It was toed out if wearing on the inside edges unless you have extreme negative camber. Inside wear only occurs from excessive camber or toe out.

2) lowering the car equally on both sides will alter the toe settings on both sides equally as well.

3) Being self centering while in motion both tires would toe in or out at the same angle but your steering wheel could be off center(normally not the case unless the height is not the same on each side from a lowering job)

4) Any other misalignment would have to be either a factory setting that is wrong(not likely) or something bent from an impact(likely with the bad roads in many areas).

5)Unless doing an extreme drop(which is another story but should not be done due to adverse suspension geometry changes causing a loss in handling) the camber settings results should improve handling and if you drive agressive at all in the corners should pretty well balance out tire wear issues. That is unless you do mostly commuting and not alot of canyon, street corner or on ramp carving.

6) Toe settings should be checked and adjusted anytime you lower a car, even just 1/2" can make a difference than needs corrected(not always at such small drops but it should be checked anyway)

7) Toe settings also need to be adjusted anytime you change camber settings, camber can greatly effect toe.

An alignment is not nessessary if you do a bit of research, setting toe is quite easy for a DIY project, been doing my own for decades with no issues at all(we do far more than just toe though;)

Just wanted to clear things up a bit so others ready this may get the right info and hopefully realize they need to make corrections if they lower thier cars.
