hey could someone shed some light as to why my car has a really bad negative camber (top of wheel leans in). it is an xr3i cabriolet with a full gmax lowering kit (shocks and springs -30mm), new track control arms and bush and balljoints, just recently passed mot. put new tyres on a few months ago but they are worn now on inside edge, nearly new on outside (bit pissed off bout this as the tyres were the 1st ever quite expensive ones ive bought)
the car also handles poorly and pulls to the left .

pls help!!!

 

fit adjustable tcas and an adjustable front anti roll bar is probally the solution as i have a cab as well and it has done the same but it is an expensive solution.
the s1 rs turbo track control arms if i rember right give a more positive camber but you might need to check if they will fit the xr3i anti roll bar.

 

but surely there must be a reason why this is occuring.also one wheel sits further foreward in the arch that the other

 

chassis is bent check the inner part of the bay where the tca bolts on to for creases in the metal flaking paint ect.
if you think about it the cabs have no roof which means less stength to support the car as you probally have seen for yourself when you drive the car with the roof down.
i have had the same problem with mine unless you get it jigged fit all the adjustable stuff and a strut brace to make the car stiffer.
with my car as i take a sharp left at speed the cv joint pulls itself half out of the female bit in the gearbox and sends out this terrible grinding noise so i have gone all adjustable to sort it out.
plus with adjustable tcas you can sort the camber out so that you can virtually eliminate inner tyre wear and reduce torque steer if you have a turbo engine in it like mine
