Like everybody else I have used the Carfixer recommended alignment on our web site and it works great. I cannot for the life of me however find it on our club site. Can someone direct me to it please so I can print it? Thanks a bunch. Need new fronts. Got 60K out my Goodyear Eagle F1s and have some tread left but edges starting to wear. Could probably go a few more thousand but thiniing of safety here. My mechaic used the Carfixer alignment last time and they wore really true. I think my problem is this past winter resulted in a lot of snow and potholes so the alignment probably went out. Thanks in advance for your help. :cool:
Try This:
Bam! Found it for ya:
The inside edge wear of the front tires is caused by 2 things: negative camber and negative toe (toe out). Caster is not a tire wearing angle. The outside edge wear can be caused by excessive toe in and aggressive cornering.
Factory camber spec is -.5 degrees +or- .75 degrees
Factory toe spec is -.15 degrees +or- .20 degrees
(BTW, this info came from their website which is updated periodically and may differ from previously published material, such as cd's and paper manuals)
That means your alignment could have -1.25 degrees of camber and toe out of -.35 degrees and still be in the "green". This will wipe out the inside edges in <20K miles IMO.
All of the MM's I've aligned (about 10) had at least -1.0 degrees of camber and always toe out of -.10 degrees or more from the factory. That's why almost all MM's you see have excessive inside edge tire wear.
For best tire wear, here is what I use on all MM alignments:
Camber: 0 to -.3 degrees.*
Toe: Zero degrees.
Caster: 5-6.5 degrees positive with .3 degree lead on the right side.
*Camber can affect cornering feel. The more negative camber you have, the better it will handle corners. Most drivers will never feel the difference, especially on the street.
