You can buy the Megan rear camber kit. Not sure if there is something for the front. There is a set for sale in the classifieds now for $200 shipped.

The folks who make TPMS sensors recommend using the rebuild kit anytime your tires are removed/remounted from the rims.

For a normal driver who is replacing tires every 3-5 years it's fairly cheap insurance to follow this suggestion...

If you're paying to have them switched every 5k (which I think is nuts, a competent alignment shop can adjust your toe and fix your problem) then you'd probably want to try and get away with reusing them a time or two.

Recently had my tires swapped left to right at ~20k when I got new wheels, inside was pretty much bald. I'm only dropped on H&R Springs. I'm waiting for the FIGS front arms.



i plan to use my the TPMS sensors in my Stockies and have my tire shop move then onto my summer rims, would i need them to use a rebuild kit? the shop didnt mention any need for it.... :uh:

I probably haven't tried hard enough to find a competent alignment shop, I suppose, but none of the shops I've talked to seemed to think it was possible to fix my problem (other than with the left-to-right swapping).

... You guys have convinced me to look for a more specialized, reputable shop.

^ Make sure you check your local/regional CL forum for an alignment shop. Good luck!
