Hi All

I have a vx ss and was wondering what sort of extra mileage i would get out my tyres by installing a full camber kit. I have the usual problem of tyres scuffing out on the inside rears.

Hi Lowie.

The camber kit won't fix the rear tyre wear problem, the wear is caused by toe-in on acceleration. I've fitted several camber kits to VT & VXI IRSs & no matter what you set the alignment to, the tyre life is nowhere near as good as VXII/VY/V

Can anyone direct me to a wrecker in Melbourne that might have a VXII, VY or VZ with these toe links. I have called about 6 wreckers in the eastern suburbs with no luck.
