Why is my rear tire tilted inward?
It’s usually the result of bent suspension components, or out-of-place attachment points. Bad wheel bearings, bad bushings, loose ball joints, uneven spring compression, misadjusted ride height, uneven weight balance in the car, and even incorrectly inflated tires can all add up to give you bad camber.
What is the point of Cambering wheels?
Camber is used to distribute load across the entire tread. Improper camber can make the tire wear on one edge and may cause the vehicle to pull to the side that has the most positive camber. Zero camber will result in the most uniform tire wear over time, but may reduce performance during cornering.
Why are the rear tires slanted outward when lowering the car?
For it correcting itself when you raised and lowered the back end, that is cause when the wheels were off the ground, there was no resistence but then during lowering, they caught the pavement and held them into place until the car moved down the road. If it is an alignment issue, I will definitely take it to a shop to have it corrected.
Where are the wheel bearings on a car?
A wheel bearing is a set of steel balls held together in a metal ring, called a race. At the center of your wheels, there is a hollow piece of metal, called a hub.
Is there a way to adjust the rear tire?
At the time I said no thanks, and now I see the tire is bent and think there must be another spot to adjust the rear tire because the current control arms are straight from the factory. I researched and looks like I need what’s called a camber kit (bolt) I can adjust the rear tires 1 3/4 inch inside and out.
How can you tell if your wheel bearing is bad?
Squealing & Growling. The classic sounds of a bad wheel bearing are cyclic chirping, squealing and/or growling noise. You can also tell that the sound is related to wheel bearings if it changes in proportion to vehicle speed. The sound can get worse with every turn, or it can disappear momentarily.
