So I'm at Sears and they can't align my tires because they said there's no specs for toe and camber. He can only align the caster but the tool can barely clear the fender. Am I going to need a camber Kit like he suggested? I'm lowered on HR springs and the inside of my fronts are almost bald from the out of whack toe. What should I do? I need some guidance from you more experienced guys.

camber is not adjustable from the factory.

toe is.

Should have gotten an alignment after the springs were installed. Now you will need new tires. No "need" for the camber arms; but of you want to fool with the camber at all, you will need them.

I should've that was my screw up. He showed me the computer and he said there's no way to adjust the toe. He recommended me to a shop down the street that he always refers people to if he cant do it. Camber is about 1.5ish all around. Front left toe is within spec but right toe is at about .67.

Sears just plain sucks for services regardless. Anyhow, I had a coupon for Lexus services and had the dealership do my alignment after some coilovers got installed. They did a minor correction on the toe, but had to leave the negative camber alone and recommended camber arms.

GL!

I have learned that Sears sucks. Its been a headache just trying to get my tires. at least the guy was honest with me and showed me what he was talking about and made sure I didn't get charged. Hopefully I can get this taken care of soon. What would cause the inside of the tires to wear like that? About an inch from the inside on both tires are bald. The rest of the tread is almost new. I'm thinking the camber?

Never go to Sears for anything auto related services.

I wouldn't if I was back in San Diego but I'm in Virginia beach right now for training so I don't know any shops out here. Guess I should've done my research :/

Only EXTREME negative camber really wears tires down quickly; of which you don't have. What you have there is a common case of incorrect TOE. That wears tires ALOT more quickly than camber does. Google "tire toe" and you will see what it is all about.

Canadian here....am I missing something? Sears for alignment?

Toxicxk23

The left front toe is at .19 and the right front is at .67 but the wear looks almost identical

Now that I had a chance to view my printout from Lexus, this might be of help :



I'm lowered about 2.5" all around on BCRs. Had this alignment done by Lexus right after the coilover install. Green is obviously within factory specs, and red is not. You definitely have a toe problem that needs to be addressed ASAP!
