[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 47503, member: 126"] Thanks for the feedback again guys! Went to rotate the rear tires just now (dismounting and swapping left and right tires) and also to check the camber. Here are the findings: 1. Left rear camber is -2.3 degrees 2. Right rear camber is -2.0 degrees 3. Shocks are new! Previous owner was not lying when he said he changed them!! 4. Rear left tire will not last more than 2 months!! So now based on Albundy's camber specs which is more than mine I'm beginning to think that my tire wear condition is not ride height induced. Looks like I need to change all my bushings and maybe even the pitman arm bush! Another thing I was also considering is changing rims since mine is currently the wrong offset at ET11. Was thinking of upsizing to 17" too. Factor in the cost of all the repairs, new rims (used rims actually) and new tires and whoppee do! More credit card debt!!! Woe is me :cry: [/QUOTE]
