Hey guys, I just picked up 07 TL-S a few weeks ago. I took the rear tires off the car over the weekends to install the a spec kit. I noticed if the tires worn out in the inside. It's telling me if the alignment is off on the car. I look under the car on the suspension and There's only have toe adjusment on the rear. Does all TL-S have this problem? Do I need aftermarket chamber adjusment for the car. Hate buying new tires because off this.. HELPPPP....

Yes, only toe adjustment (F&R) on the TL, no camber, and if the car is on stock suspension, not lowered, rear toe is probably out of spec. Get it aligned and see what the results might be. Aftermarket toe and camber adjustment kits are available if the need ever arises:

There is an aftermarket camber adjustment kit available for the rear.

just so no misunderstanding on this.. what Turbo said! +1111

Rsoetidjo

Are there any other kits in the market beside that?

Rsoetidjo

My type-s is on stock height. Do you think the alignment is off?

Has the car been lowered?

^^^ YES! your alignment IS off, or something is bent. you shouldnt be wearing tires abnormally with a bone stock car.

Yes, and it's common for most cars to periodically need a wheel realignment (my TL had one about 40K miles ago, and needs another now).

I agree with Turbonut's post above-- an adjustment to the rear toe will probably get your tire wear and high speed handling back to normal, assuming no damage to the suspension from impacts, etc.
A 4-wheel alignment-- front and rear wheels-- for the TL should be about $100.

Will Y.

Get a four-wheel alignment per advice given in your other thread first.
Camber plates may be unnecessary.

Your most likely off alingment , hit a curb or pot hole hard ? Or lower your car recently , that will throw off the alingment

you most likely don't need a camber kit. camber will not cause inner tire wear on its own. get your car aligned and have the tech set rear toe to 0.

Just to mention, excessive camber will cause wear even if the toe is set properly, it's just that the wear will be smooth, not feathered as is seen when the toe is out of spec. Think about the situation, if excessive camber didn't cause uneven wear we wouldn't need to install camber kits.

Rsoetidjo

The car is not lowered or hit any curb. And I just bought the car a few weeks ago

Rsoetidjo

well..., I gues I have to make a trip to the alignment shop.

JETSPD1477

agreed. i was assuming since the wear was unexpected that the car isn't lowered. camber cant be that far out of spec requiring a correction kit. if the camber is that far out of spec and the car isn't lowered then there's a bigger problem. if anything i should have just suggested getting the car aligned.

Tires may have been rotated prior to purchase and wear was from front, but that wear pattern is not uncommon on the TL

I wasn't trying to knit pick, but just wanted to make certain everyone was on the same page.

Toe is good. But the left camber is -1 degree, and the right is -1.5 degree. And no camber adjusment

Scan or post the final settings. Many say toe is good but they set it incorrectly and with those camber numbers within spec (-0.5/-1.5), that won't wear out the inside of the tire. That right rear is at the max, unusual for a stock suspension '07 car. How many miles? If you rub your palm around the inside of the tire, back and forth, is the tread feathered, not smooth, or smooth like the outside?

And why do you currently have 2 threads on the same subject? One in Tires, one in Problems. They should be combined.

I'm not duplicating my responses.

Need to combine!

Rsoetidjo

Because, It's a problem and It's a tires question. Some people just check on problem& fix section. And some other people just check on tires and suspension section

Rsoetidjo

You don't have to, if you don't want it. You also can just response on just one. It's your choice.

if you lowered your car i suggest get the kit from heeltoe, skunk 2 and the ingalls they work perfect. on my tls '08

Tire wear could just be from previous owner didn't take care of the cars alignment. The car doesn't have to pull or steering wheel off center to have the toe to be outta spec and cause the premature wear. Alignments should be done at least 2x a year to prevent any tire wear specially if you live in a city with shitty roads like here in Philly.
