[West Spec]

kenny alignment at amk autopoint

[Tyrian]

kenny alignment at amk autopoint

 

if wheel alignment is off an a replacement of the tire is necessary,

 

Do i do a wheel alignment first and change tire or change tire then do wheel alignment?

change a new set of tire then send for alignment.

i've found out the problem of my tire already

 

Scenario:

 

There's been a rapid wear of the outer side of my passenger front tire.

 

As i thought it could be a wheel alignment issue, I've sent my car to Kenny's wheel alignment and paid $60

 

He advised me that my camber arm is off and there is no way to make it 100% aligned.

 

The next best thing is to send my car for a tire rotation. It cost me $20 for a tire rotation + balancing.

 

Now, i'm looking for a camber kit

camber arm off?? 100% aligned?? it can't

 

every vehicle has different camber, caster, toe setting that depends on the vehicle load, chassis, rims, tires bla blah blah.. Even if it's "100%" aligned, once out of shop and go over a hump becomes 90+%

 

Rotation is cheap than compared chg the tires, camber bolt is a cheaper alternative of camber kit.

 

But your description sounds more like a wrong toe setting + slight camber off than just on camber setting alone?

ok, so the bushing gone or the thing dented?

[GuiNNeSS]

Anybody knows about Federal 595 tyre?

 

which model?

[Throttle]

My best bet is still the Goodyear Eagle F1 Made in Germany.

 

value for money and good dry / wet grip
