Uneven front tires wear
 
What is cause of the uneven wear on front my tires?
It is a 08 accord coupe with H&R spring on 19x8.5 running Falken 235/35/19 tires
I got alignment done at dale' in langley 3 month after i put on the spring and now it been a year and the front tires turn out to be like that.
I dont believe i need a front camber because i check the forum and i didn't hit anything hard and both front tires are like that.

THANKS!!!!!

Camber wear. If it were feathered, I'd say toe.

do you have a camber kit?

getterz77 06-14-2011 10:28 PM

Thanks for the help!

A camber kit for the front is usually not needed but in your case it looks like you do. Go for an alignment and it should fix it.

i drive slow and safe XD. yea, i guess i need a other alignment but should i go back to Dale? Since i did my there before and it turn out like this?

A front camber kit being needed is usually based on the spring rate and drop.

my spring drop is 1.5 inch front but i check the people in the driveaccord forum they have spring or coilover with 2 inch and more drop and all of them dont need camber kit and with no problem

What was your alignment setting?
That is definately a combination of camber wear and toe.

getterz77 06-15-2011 11:12 PM

Front
Caster
left 3.86
Right 4.06

Camber
Left -0.54
Right -0.57

Toe
Left 0"
Right 0"
Total 0"

Based on your alignment spec's, camber wear shouldn't be too bad.
Definately get the alignment checked again. How long did you have the springs installed before the car was aligned? It is possible that there was not enough time for the springs to settle.

fliptuner 06-16-2011 09:29 AM

Nah, he said the alignment was 3 months after the springs were installed. At this point, I'd recommend they check out all the suspension/steering components for wear and if all is good, re-align it.

getterz77 06-18-2011 12:24 AM

yea, i got the alignment 3 months after the spring, so i guess i will to re align it? where is a good place? and i just got some new tires today ><"

fliptuner 06-18-2011 03:40 AM

Yeah, get a shop to check the wear on parts first though.

What'd you do with the old tires? They'd make decent drift spares if they're free/cheap.

getterz77 06-18-2011 10:31 AM

Sorry man, I change my tires at discounttires at the state, so didn't bring those tires back. i guess i should bring my car to check it right away? Do you know how much just to check alignment?

Thanks a lot for the helps!!
