Commercial Tire Went in for Alignment and Nothing But Bad Happened Boise, Idaho
I went in to have an alignment done after installing a camber kit in my car, I wanted to get an alignment done before I drove back to Seattle, WA. So I went in and they told me they had to replace the Tie Rod or the alignment would be no good and it would go bad after they took my car off the lift. So I paid them to do that as well, and got my alignment done. Took about 3 hours to finish everything, Drove the 8 hours back home, then went to get my tires rotated and my new tires had worn on the inside to the wires. Had the tires for 4 months and they had worn the inside of all my tires, when I was working on the car and taking the tires off there was no wear it was all even, drove home after the alignment and my tires are useless now, and there is a knocking sound on my front passenger tire, Had to get a new alignment and replace all my tires!

what kind of vehicle is this for??--why would you install a camber kit??--exactly what do you mean by camber kit??--did you lower your ride??---you say the tires are worn on the inside---i have yet to see a tire worn like this cause of a camber problem--it sounds your issue is the toe----one day--this lady had her car towed in---one tire went flat cause she wore it so much it put a hole in it---both tires the metal cords were showing on the inside---everyone said the camber is bad blah blah blah--so i put on 2 new tires and take it for a test drive--the car went perfectly straight--i was like what the f u ck--i put it on the machine--camber was good in spec---the toe was out 1.20 evenly on both sides---but this is all my experience--again--i have yet to see camber wear out a tire like this----i have yet to see a car pull or drift cause of camber as well----maybe if it is completely absolutely horrendously out---toe is the most important
