Lowered FR, OUTSIDE wear on rear tyres

[Nick_J]

Hi everyone,

Ive had my car lowered for almost a year, had two new front tyres around the same time, rears are still Pzero's.

When I had the coilovers fitted, I also had it 4 wheel aligned for 80quid from a decent car garage in Milton Keynes. (Not the same place as where i got coilys fitted)

I knew the front wheels were too cambered in, so asked for less camber, so they now sit nicely (and are wearing evenly) but when they were aligning the rears they said there was nothing they could do about the camber, which had increase camber due to being lowered.

However, now, the rears are starting to wear more on the outside more than the inside I was wondering if the rears can be aligned at all, or if this is a common problem on lowered Ibiza's. If so ill put up with it!

Cheers!

Rears have no adjustment, have to live with it i'm afraid!

As has been said , there is no adjustment with the rears as standard
IIRC though Whiteline are bringing out some rear camber correction plates
These will not be easy to fit or set up though as they are a wedge style plate , but if fitted correctly they should bring the camber back in to alignment
