i doubt you have negative camber if your not lowered. its your toe and casting setting, mainly the toe setting is the one that eats up the tires. even with a bit of negative camber but with the toe settings in spec the inner tire wear isnt that bad as long as your diligent with tire rotations.

 

If you haven't had a professional alignment check done yet, then I would start there. The problem may be something else. You can also ask for the numbers and ask if you need a camber kit.

Make sure your tires and wheels are balanced and not warped. I think SPC makes a balljoint camber kit. I'm not sure if Ingalls makes one.

 

that's 1 or 2 washers per bolt, and there are 4 bolts total. i got 3/8" washers (i think they're galvanized steel?) at home depot and 45 mm bolts at OSH. i paid around $7-8 total. if you need more specific info, i have some threads bookmarked at home that have everything you'll need to know.

:werd: toe ate the outer part of my front left tire pretty quickly. the car pulled to the right and i had to pull the wheel left to compensate. i had around -1.8° camber in front for almost 4 full months and didn't have any wear problems. then i had my SPC front ball joints installed (no knocking on my fender ) and i'm back at -0.5° in front and around -0.9° in back with the bolt/washer trick.

 

does anyone know the stock specs for 98-02 accord sedan 4cyl?
Tire alignment spec's i mean
Im pretty sure they are all the same....sedan, coupes etc.....

 

That would be nice, I have the ingalls on my 95 accord and had to keep adjusting until I didn't have the hitting in my fender but its almost back to where it was in the first place!

 

ingalls makes a ball joint style now, but it's more expensive than SPC for basically the same stuff. the dealer i bought my kit from could've sold me the more expensive ingalls, but he said i'd be better off with SPC.

speaking of the the dealer i bought my kit from.... :bigok: for peter

 

I just bought the (ingalls)ball joint part and installed it on the driver side and my car is to low for it, it hits up in the wheel well. I do have the other ingalls kit (picture http://www.ppsonline.net/S_Camber.htm) on it now and wanted to use the ball joint so I could adjust it more without the nocking in my fender well. So Now that I have installed and then pulled out the one I cannot return it therefore I'm out 90.00. Doesnt anyone need one, I cannot use it

Email me if anyone wants this kit please buy one of me.

 

are you sure that when he put it back to stock that he didn't mix up the front and rears or possibly put on bad shocks. if there is no drop and the car is wearing on either the inside or the outside of the tires only, this is a good place to start. if the tires are wearing evenly across, see the reply above.
