Bivic-sauce Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well i got a 95 civic dx coupe. and the front tires are wearing very un evanly. the out side of the tires are down to the metle and the rims look liek they slant in from the top. when i got the car the kid said the coilovers were taken out. have no clue what they put in. and its been raining all day yesterday till early this morning and im not going on the ground to look. I put brand new tires on my rims and dont want to put the fronts on cus of this wear.. any typical reason why this would wear so crappy. ill try to get pics up soon. this pisses me off tho.

BrIaN EG2 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 sounds to me like the car has too much positive camber the only way i know of fixing that is to buy a camber kit... not too sure, more help will come behind me shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 So if coilovers were removed, are you at stock height now? Sounds like no? If all they did was remove coilovers, and then never did four wheel alignment, it will eat up tires in a hurry, depending on how much of a drop you have. Pics?

airjordan223 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 yeah most likely your camber is out, could be other alignment problems as well. take it to an alignment shop, and check it out. or if the car is lowered, get the camber kit now, then take it to the alignment shop right after you install the camber kit.

lceah Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 about the front tire, if it's not alignment, then maybe that side suspension is messed up. A pic of the area would help. Any "unormal" things you see there? Compare to the other side (front still). The speedometer...check ground. Also, might have messed up the cluster, but I wouldn't think so.
