Front camber change for track days.

Featured Replies

I wondered if anyone has changed the camber of the front hubs for TD use?

 

After 6 TD's, I have worm my tyres pretty much out. 

 

I have severely worn the outer edge through heavy cornering at speed. 

 

Car equipped with Federal R595's and usual suspension mods. I have fitted Cupra R quick rack, hubs and lower suspension arms.

 

I know there is limited adjustment in the lower swivel joints and am interested to know by how much and what adjustments are beneficial.

If you've managed to get as many as 6 track days out of one set of tyres I really don't think you need to worry about it.

6 TD's is pretty good. I am concerned about the wear on the outer edges of the front tyres that continue about 25mm down the face of the sidewall.

 

 

The cast arms have a bit of adjustment of the bottom ball joint I think but probably not as much as you'd ideally need. Are adjustable top mounts an option?

 

What suspension and anti-roll bar are you running? Do you know what the current camber is? Could the wear also be due to the tyre pressures being too low?

 

It's very common for road cars to wear tyres on the outside edges when used on track - combination of more grip from stickier tyres and the standard geometry not being optimised for track and offering limited/no adjustment.

 

On my old Clio I ran AD08Rs, Eibach springs and about 2-2.5 degrees negative camber on the front and the tyres still wore more on the outside edge, but by the sounds of it not as much as yours are.
