Camber with KW V3

[countryboyhaha]

Im noticing the camber is off and wondering what I can do about it. I do have them set low at all but the inside edge of the tyre is wearing. Im thinking of the following to fix this

What you think?

The Superpro parts state that they're for caster increase, not camber, but I don't see how they could do that, since it requires moving the bottom swivel fore o aft relative to the top.

Never seen the adjustable ball joint kit before though.

Not sure where I found the ball joint kit but bookmarked it when I did.

i run kw3 and there is no probs atall with the camber and all tyres wear the same have you had it properly set up ???

you really should have a prob unless running them on the very low limit.....!!!!

[countryboyhaha]

Dont have them low at all. Guess Ill get the tracking checked again and not happy with it when they done it last sat.

Thanks

The problem is that there are two causes of excess inside edge wear:-

1) Excess camber, caused by radical lowering of a strut based suspension (as the strut becomes shorter, the stub axle rotates around the inner mounting, and the outer edge rises faster than the inner, tending to put t more load on the inner edge of the tyre. This really needs different length bottom arms (not available, and expensive anyway) or adjustable camber bolts (Unless Superpro have made a mistake, not availabel for this chassis) to fix.

2) Excess toe-in, and I'd expect this to apply to both wheels equally if it happens as a result of a change in ride height. That said, it will only happen if the inner ends of the track rods are nearer the inner arm mounts that the outer rod ends are. If you want to play, make some quadrilaterals (Meccano is good if you have access to a set) and fiddle with moving it like suspension does.
