At the bottom there's some stuff to adjust your rear camber.

a little camber doesn't cause tire death; toe-in does

anytime you put make significant changes to your suspension, get an alignment.

the chamber is about 2 degrees and it is toed in a bit according to bell tire. the tires are balding in the center and I would just like to know what all of the other Itrax spring owners did to fix this problem on their cars? -Dustin

you need aftermarket suspension parts to realign the car if you've run out of stock adjustment room (or didn't have any to begin with)

Most alignment places try to get it within 1.2 degrees (or at least Sears Alignment does), so 2 degrees really isn't that bad.

If the tires are balding in the center, they're probably over-inflated.

Camber wear (from negative camber) happens on the the inside of the tire.

Although on my car I'm not sure what's causing the inside wear, toe or negative camber, since my car isn't lowered. I'd say my rear tires has at least a degree of negative camber. I just had an alignment, I hope they actually know how to adjust toe on the FC... otherwise I sort of wasted 60 bucks (other than getting the steering straightned out).

I'm gonna need new tires though...since the thread is really low, and some of them are leaking.

Thats a pretty shitty alignment.

Usually spec is within 0.5 around the spec measurement. Meaning .25 over or .25 under.

Thanks for the reminder that the only thing good at sears is the young cashiers

Sorry sorry, the tires are balding in the INSIDE ONLY.

Does anyone know what aftermarket kit/Bolts I need? Anyone with intrax springs should have this problem. Thanks, Dustin.

I have lowering springs. For the rear, get the mazdatrix piece mentioned in a previous post. That's what I have. For the front, you can use any old camber adjuster bolts. You can get them anywhere really.

oh and negative camber looks rediculous to me. I don't think it looks cool at all.
