I'm not totally useless..

As an example: for every mile the tire moves forward with say .125in (1/8th in) of toe in (or out) it is equivalent to being dragged sideways for 1/8 of a mile! Get the toe wrong and you can waste a tire much quicker than camber ever can... So if I were to end up -1.0 camber (I would want that number but that is beside the point) I would apply 1/16-1/8in toe in to even the tire wear out across the face of the tire. With the tendency to use the least amount of toe as possible in the rear as it tends to remain fairly "static". As for the front you have to account for it being not so "static", especially when braking as there is a high amount of weight transfer to the front and can radically change the toe setting. Pulling down on the front end while it is on the rack can show this. I usually divide the difference between static vs loaded in half and add it in to the toe amount (add toe in if the change is negative toe and reduce toe in if the change is additional toe in). If you are lowering a car for performance and having a performance alignment done, you need to be prepared to have some reduced tire wear....

I just ordered my pedders camber kit to do my alignment hopefully I'll get it next week, but since I have the BMR trailing arms does that mean the car wont align right?

This is a stronger bushing than the bushings offered by some suspension companies. Higher strength means less bushing deflection, which is the main reason for replacing the bushings in the first place. Using a bushing with soft polyurethane is like using a running shoe with soft rubber. |
