What's up fellas, hopefully y'all can help me get this straight.
'94 GT manual. Did a lot of front end work last spring, right before mounting a new set of Kuhmos. Ball joints, axles, struts all the way around. All factory replacements. Should've done the wheel bearings also but had no evidence of play or grinding/roaring prior to replacing parts. After new parts had alignment done, shop said all is good. Noticed the tires roared pretty bad, checked wheel play and nil. Read reviews about the tires bc they were pretty cheap but were a few complaints about tire noise, but overall a nice tire. Few thousand miles in I notice slight inner tire wear. Still not feeling play in the wheel bearings. Parked the car a few weeks ago bc now the inner side of the drivers front tire is bald. Only the very inner tread is gone. From the side the tires still look brand new. The pass front shows some inner wear but not nearly as harsh. I can now physically see the negative camber at the front wheels. So I guess I'm wondering is there a chance the axles are incorrect length? Think I read somewhere that people had problems gettin wrong axles for a '94 bc they're listed part number is for a 5th gen or something along those lines. I've got a set of outer tie rods tht I'll get around too wen it's not 99+ degrees outside, and considering a camber kit if that's what it comes to. I'll check bearing play again this week sometime and verify their condition. She had sat for a while before I got her road worthy, on bad struts no less. Anyone know the factory height for the stock springs? And/or know of a worthy camber kit? I've seen camber bolt kits, anything else out there? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
