uneven tire bite

[EssB]

probably the camber is on negative (too much)... pa-check mo na rin yung toe and caster ng front...

If only the outer treads are worn, this can very well mean too much POSITIVE camber on a MacPherson strut type suspension. Another reason for this is cornering too fast on double-A arms suspension with a weak anti-roll bar. (For some reason, McPherson struts aren't as much susceptible to this as are double-A arms suspensions.)

Why the uneven wear pattern occurs on ALL 4 tires is because you "rotated" the tires front-to-back on the same side. What's likely happening is your front suspension has too much positive camber thus causing the uneven wear pattern, and switching tires on the same side merely exposed the previously unworn tires to the same stress, thus affecting all 4 tires.

But if your car has 4-wheel independent suspension, it's also possible that all 4 corners have been wrongly cambered.

Independent suspensions normally have a little bit of NEGATIVE camber dialed in to counter the tendency of the tires to lean together with the car during turns.

To ease some of the confusion:
Positive Camber = tires of the same axle are closer at the bottom (parang toe-in pababa)

Negative Camber = tires of the same axle lean inwards at the top.

Hope that helps.

yung kotse ko naman po inner portion ang mabilis mapudpod... lalo napo sa rear... ganun ba tlaga pag lowered ang kotse? mabilis mapupod ung sa inner part? so camber alignment padn ang solution tama po b?

mga sir, bago driver po ako and nakabili me ng honda civic 95. kaso, medyo upod na po yung inner-tires sa harap. may nagsabi sakin camber adjustment daw ito or di na aligned yung front tires kaya di balance yung kain ng mga gulong. please give me any service center para dito sa problem ko together with the contact and complete address. pakisamahan narin po ng directions kung paano pumunta doon. balak ko pong pumunta sa wednesday para di matao if ever. pandacan-manila area po ako. thanks in advance.
