When I worked at Goodyear years ago. One of the things that I've seen. When a tire starts to wear in a pattern. It will continue to wear that way even when corrections are made. So, get your alignment checked, and turn the tires around on the rims. The outside to the inside. That's the cheap thing to do. The other is to get new tires after the alignment check.

No, just swapped out oe eccentric toe bolts with SPL bolts and camber arms came with new eccentric bolts. Is that an issue? Never had to buy a lockout kit before. What’s the benefits to a lockout kit? Are we talking for the toe bolt or for the actual bolt on the camber arm closer to wheel?

Yeah already ahead of you! I got car up on stands right now. Checking camber arms. They’re perfectly fine. Everything tight. They have regreaseable metal bushings so I definitely wanna keep them on over putting the stock rubber bushing ones back on. These seem a lot more sturdy. Definitely going to have my guy at Nissan flip tire (I’m used to that “stance” life haha) and re align it. Or I guess just double check. If alignments not out (as it was just done 3 months ago) then I’ll just flip tire and take it easy til spring (only a few months of winter here in the south so no big deal)


Only other thing I can think of is, I had a nail in that tire a month after I got it. I caught it as soon as it happened, had it professionally patched and checked the psi regularly for the first month or so. Was always at 35-38psi as it is now. Only thing I could think is maybe when the tire had a nail it dropped psi but I never noticed the tread wear when I had the patch put on. So doubtful.

Eccentric bolts can move. My guess is that one rolled.
