well i just put new tire on my car like 3 months ago and only been to the drag strip once.. i looked at the tires and there is plenty of tread on the out but almost none on the inside.. also if i stand back like 20 feet or so behind the car the rear tires look like this" / \ "
just wondering what would cuz this and how i can fix it..

your camber is way off. is your car lowered? probably.

you need a rear camber link. like $90 most rx7 stores have them.

 

thanks... and no the car is not lowerd still has stock suspension on it..

Deflate the tires a bit so the outer tread will wear down more.

 

Your stock suspension was manufactured between 12 and 18 years ago depending on your manufacture date, so your springs are sagging for sure, which is just like being lowered. FCs camber up like crazy when you drop them. (this can be a good thing, since it increases camber on the outside wheel in a hard turn)

As mentioned before, get the adjustable rear camber link. Make sure you get the one that can be adjusted while installed on the car

 

They sag alot. I had a TII with 200,000 miles that had the same problem. Replaced the springs/shock and it actually raised it about and inch. That's a lot considering the springs were supose to lower it an inch

 

if your good at machining.. u can take your old camber bar off and shorten it a few inches.... thats all ya need to do

 

get the rear toe eliminators from rb when you go bigger rim that happens

 

Rear toe eliminators wont fix his problem. He needs new suspension and/or the rear camber adjuster.

 

What about his alignment. I haven't had alot to do with the suspension yet but could that be a posibility. When was the last time you had it checked.

 

I too got have some crazy Camber In the rear after dropping It 1.6''. When getting an adjustable Rear Camber Link, do you require an alignment after that?

 

yes.

 

I'm running 26PSI in 225/50-15 Kuhmo 711's.
Any higher pressure and you just tip-toe in the inside part of the tire footprint.

 

A few inches? That is not real accurate and could be WAY too much correction. With my GC Coilovers lowering the rear of my car by around 3" it only took about .75" of adjustment on the camber bar to bring the camber back within reason.

Why guess at the proper length and be stuck with your decision when you can just spend a few dollars and have something you can adjust perfectly?

 

Heres a question.. Is the REAR camber on our cars adjustable independantly?

Because on my drivers side REAR it's "ok" meaning acceptable amount of negitive camber... but on my passenger side it is much different. it is acctually almost to the point of Positive camber... almost sticking out the wheel well. how can this be? and that side looks like the toe angle is off slightly. (plus My passenger tire always seems to wear out slightly different than the other 3. I have checked everything.. nothing is bent or broken, but the camber is definatly different than the other side.

could if be an extreamly worn suspension? which i have... the car bounces like a basket ball when taking corners had.. also bounces when going over regular road bumps quite dangerous.

Thanks guys.. Markus

 

No. Friggin mazda. Mine is the same way, the previous owner put a wheel into a curb and now the rear camber doesn't match.
