|
|
| Is it necessary to install a camber kit when installing lowering springs? Installed TRD springs last year and I am noticing uneven tire wear. |

Camber kit not necessary, but you do need to rotate your tires, and make sure they're properly inflated, to avoid uneven wear.
I've put 15k+ miles on mine with NF210 springs (lower rear drop than TRD), rotated every 5k miles, and they look almost like new. |

| I'd get an alignment. If you lowered it and haven't aligned it yet, chances are your toe's out. |

:doh:
You da man vegan! :clap:
I completely forgot about that. Yea, mine drove straight and fine after the spring install, but I had it aligned anyway, and found out my front toe-in was 3x what it was supposed to be! I'm sure I'd already be on my second set of tires otherwise. |

I AM on my 2nd set. :lol: And I'm pretty sure it's all due in part to not getting my car aligned after spring install. |

Excellent call, though. |
