Hello, I am having trouble with bad wear to the inside of my tires. My car is not that low but I have a little bit of camber angle and I was wondering if I get adjustable arms if my wheels will hit the arches. I got a wheel alignment done and have te figures on paper if that will help any one. I just need to know if It's worth me fitting them of not. Thanks

I don't really have much wear on the rear it's mainly the front, the tires have worn away a strange way also. It's warn on the side but not evenly around the edge, it's hard to explain. I got it done at autotec on sherwood road, I think it's in rocklea.

Without telling us what width/offset your wheels are, no one can say for certainty what will hit or clear...

Yes. Having adjustable camber arms will give you some adjustment to "tuck" the top of the wheel under the guard. However, no amount of camber in the world is going save you if your wheel width and offset are ridiculous...

Tyres dont look too bad. A little less camber is probably better for street tyres. A set or two of adjustable bushes should be enough, and will still be legal. The reduction in toe you got might help a bit too (and should make it a little more eager to change direction).

U might be better off getting suspension check done at fulcrum or pedders then before swapping anything camber, make sure nothing's worn out. I had combo of control arm bush and ball joint wear, killed inside of both front tyres.

I'm having a similar issue with my BNR32. Put it up on the rack to do an oil change, and the front tires were completely corded on the inside! After only 8,000 km!

The car is pretty low, but do R32's gain THAT much negative camber when lowered? Tire size is 245/45R17.

Are adjustable upper control arms the answer?

yep and yep

As per above, depends on a few variables as to how badly your tyres will wear. But yes, lower your car excessively and expect the inside to "cord" unless you install adjustable arms/bushes...

as I understand it, too much neg camber can wear out the inside of tyres, but wrong toe setting will *prematurely* wear out inside of tyres, as a result of them 'scrubbing' across the surface rather than smoothly rolling.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
