[Shotimes] Front End Negative Camber Issues

[Leigh Smith]

Alan;
Inner tire edge wear is almost exclusively from toe-in.
For various reasons, negative camber does not put much more pressure on the
inner edge, mostly because the sidewalls flex. That should not cause a wear
problem, at least not in the range that you are talking about. (Under 1.5
neg) unless you got seriously wide wheels & tires.
What neg camber does do, is make the tire much more sensitive to tire edge
wear from toe-in. I noticed your toe-in tripled from .03 to .09. Not good.
You also didn't state whether this was degrees or inches.
Regardless, Try to get your alignment guy to set you up with zero toe total,
or at least less than 1/32 inch total (.03inch). Both ends.
Tauri seem especially prone to chewing up inside edges of tires, especially
at the lightly loaded rear, unless toe is almost zero.
And yes, you would have to re-center the subframe to even out the camber.
Not that hard though.Then you should have about 0.8 both sides.That's
decent. Sounds like you might want to check those subframe bushings though,
if things are moving!
But if you got serious tire wear and alignment changes in 2k miles, I'd
check all your suspension links for wear. That's bad. The alignment on my 89
stayed stable for 100k miles. Ball joints maybe?
