Ok so last week end i installed FRPP C-springs and upr adjustable lca's and adjusted them to the length of the stock control arms which i measured at 17 and 3/4 inches. Well now for some reason my rear tires are freaking wearing out really fast on the inside of the tread. Almost as if they are cambered. Now i'm no genius but i thought with a solid axle rear your whells couldn't camber. This is really pissing me off bad! Did i do something wrong or what? Please anyone out there that can help me i'd really appreciate it. Oh i called upr and the guy there said the stock control arms are 17 and 1/2 inches, but when i measured they were 17 and 3/4. Are they supposed to be 17 1/2? I don't know i'm just about this whole thing

You were able to distinguish one week's worth of tire wear?


Are you sure the tire wear wasn't there beforehand and you're just now noticing?

No its a noticable difference. They were wearing fine up until then. I don't really go around blowing my tires off so it's gotta be something else.

it also depends on where you are taking the measurements. did you adjust anything else on the car? did you seat the springs in the perches correctly?

No i didn't change anything else. I'm pretty sure they're seated correctly. I installed them the same way the stockers were.

Noticable tire wear in 1 week is pretty extreme.
