Few questions
Few questions
Here are the wheel specs 18x9.5+20 grids with 255/35/18 yokohoma s drives
I have to run around -3 camber upfront and -2 rear to clear the tires and have them not rub anything but the actual bumper. I also run buddy club coilovers, that may or may not be blown.
I have a few questions, first my tires wear horribly, on the inside of each tire the tread blocks are unevenly worn. Its like every other one is raised and the next is lower and next raised. What causes this? I run about 40psi tire pressure all around, what should it be at? Also I really could use some good alignment specs, knowing that I have to run the camber that I run, what should they be. Camber toe etc etc Ive heard everything from bad shocks/ struts to belt separation, alignment or wheel balance.
Another thing, I have to run a 3mm spacer upfront. The spacer I have is just some pos generic one made to fit multiple lug patterns could this be causing a vibration, more on that in just a second. Also can anyone reccomend some good 5mm spacers?
Im having a vibration when braking between 60-100 mph I can feel it in the steering wheel, as well as my body. I've been told rotors, but I want to try other cheaper things first. This is the vibration I spoke about earlier.
Thank you all, sorry for the novel lol.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Its called cupping. Blown suspension will cause that.
I don't like spacers, they can cause that vibration. Search Ichibia though, they are at least hubcentric.
Well, if you have to run -3F, -2R -- then thats it. Zero toe, zero thrust angle.
Check the tires for balance. Make sure your lugs are all torqued down correctly too. Check struts for fluid leakage (blown).

Braking vibration at high speed is usually caused by warped rotors. If they aren't too bad yet you can take them to get turned at a local shop. Since yours are only vibrating from 60-100 they might not be that bad. It's not too expensive. Grab a new set of pads while you have them off, check your bearing grease situation, and you're in business for less than the price of 1 new rotor. You probably only have to do the front.

Just that when you have the rotors off it gives you a chance to visually check the wheel bearings. They should have ample grease and spin smoothly. Wheel bearings are important parts that keep your wheel from falling off so it's a good idea to give them a once over when the opportunity presents itself.
