So here I am 8 months later and around 6k miles and I need new rear tires again. Inner tread is just wearing down. Alignment looked good to me.
Any suggestions here folks? |

post alignment specs
i hope you are not literally relying on how it appears visually if you did not get a lockout kit, your eccentric bolts may also become loosened

You could take some camber and toe out. Camber from -1.69 to -1.40. Toe from 15* to 9*.

I upgraded to the SPL rear camber arms and Z1 eccentric elimination kit ( https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...t-p-11977.html ). Looks to be the same as the lockout kit? But looking back it looks like I only ordered the camber bolts and not toe. Last edited by TacoSport10; 03-17-2021 at 07:12 AM. |

I saw that alignment, but that's why i inquired about the lockout kit

I'm hoping alignment got knocked out somehow and that's why I didn't get much out of this set of rear tires. I went ahead and orderd the eccentric bolts from ZSpeed for the toe (already have them for the camber). And spoke to Joe who gave me some suggestions on how to have them setup the alignment.

you only had camber lockout, no toe locckout so your toe might not actually be what that alignment from months ago says it is but this is why i tell everyone to replace every arm with SPL adjustables, lockout everything, and get coilovers. max adjustment, no slip

I was planning on coilovers this year, and may still be able to. |

anything factory is prone to slippage, nissan did not do us any favors from a handling adjustment standpoint
