Default Alignment Question for Jim

Jim,

I replied to another post, but figured i'd start a new thread and ask you this question:

I'm getting excess wear on the inside of my driver side REAR tire.
Curently I am at -1.5 Camber and +.26 degrees Toe.

What exact Toe and camber setting do you recommend for the rears for the increaed tread life and less understear you speak about in this thread?

My FRONTS are wearing too much on the inside.
Currently I am at -.5 degree Camber and -.05 degree Toe.
What exact toe and camber do you recommend for the fronts for the best possible tread wear?

Thanks

I don't have exact alignment settings but if you are getting uneven wear with what you have you need to run less negative camber. The least amount of toe in on the rear is always a good idea as well.
If I can help let me know.

Jim,
Thanks for responding.

I need just a little more clarification.

Are you recommending the Toe be set at zero, which is the least amount of Toe possible?

or

Are you really saying to set it at the slightest Toe possible, and if so do you mean Toe in or Toe out? Same question for both front and rear.

Thanks,

Your car has an alignment spec that is I beleive plus or minus 2. I am not sure what the exact number is. You would want to run the least amount of toe in on the rear and still stay within Honda spec.
