Bob I had that same reaction, stop turning hehehehehehehe
I also pointed out that excessive toe in also will cause scrub even if we
never turn.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Moss Motors adjustable camber bushing set
Pretty normal IMO. No matter what camber setting you have, when you corner
you'll have some body roll and the moments of inertia will shift to the
outside of the turn. This causes the tire to roll towards the inside of the
turn, and to put more weight and hence more wear on the outer part of the
tire. The rear tires wear more on the outside, too, but not as much as the
front.
More modern/better suspensions do a better job of keeping the tire/wheel
orthogonal to the road through the suspension arc, but tires on most cars
will generally wear more on the outside.
Remedy: never turn.

Alone the "camber" discussion line, can anyone tell me -- 1. Why my front
tires are wearing slightly on the outside edges? 65 BJ8
2. How to remedy this?
thanks
tom
