I'm getting outside tire wear on my left front tire, does anybody know some good specs for front end alinement?

 

What kind of driving are you doing? If you corner hard a lot with the stock wheel alignment, you will rip the outside edges off both front tires in a hurry. In this case try zero toe and as much neg camber as you need or can get, depending on how hard you corner. If it is only the one front tire, and you don't haul around corners, set it back to stock alignment or zero toe and zero camber.

 

I'd get the front end aligned.

Friend that does my alignments always puts mine at the stock factory specs. Never had any issues with front tire wear.

 

I'm not driving that hard around corners, not always anyway. I had the front alined 'bout 3,000 miles ago.
Can you guys tell me what is "toe" "camber" & caster"? I don't have any idea.
Thanks

 

If the steering wheel is pointed straight, zero to would have the tires parallel. Toe in is like pigeon toe and toe out is the opposite.

Camber is how much the top of the tire leans towards the middle of the car.

Caster is how much the top ot the knuckle leans back.

Stock setting really do suck. they are designed to make the car turn really slow and track straight with almost no steering input.

Find a place that will align to

negative 0.8 camber
positive 4.5 caster
1/16" toe in

Your tires will love you.

 

thank you for finally explainging that! i had a slight idea as to what the terms meant, but now i fully understand
btw, thanks for your input/advice into all my suspension woes as well
