Default Toe Wear

Got the RC F LCA bushings installed. Decided not to install a rear camber kit and just go with alignment. Hopefully no more toe wear. Just got the alignment done. I’m not an alignment expert but it looks that it’s all toe in now. I’ll let you guys tell me if I should be good now.

That looks pretty good. Keep an eye on the wear pattern and adjust pressure to achieve equal wear across the face of the tire.

I'm running 40 psi front, 34 psi rear. Results will vary by car, driver, use....

So what’s the guideline on adjusting pressure? Higher pressure to compensate if there is still toe wear? When would you run lower pressure?

If you have tire tread depth gauge or a veneer caliper, measure in 4 places across the tire. All four.
A month later do it again and compare.

Example on the Rear is at 38 PSI the centers were wearing and there was no edge wear. Lower the pressure.

The fronts were the opposite. Both edges wearing and center has good tread. Increase the pressure until wear is minimized.
