[QUOTE="Ncjing, post: 723730, member: 43502"] Erm, judging from the Thread wear of the pictures, your car's camber angle might be too much on the negative side. It causes the threads on the inside to wear out much faster that outside because the insides are more in contact with the ground... I can see the ribs on inside edge have worn out considerably compared to the outside edge; this was the same on my car that I just bought. I just inspected the outer threads which was fine, but was shocked when the car was lifted and I discovered the inner threads almost gone. Sorry should have taken a pic of it :s: . In any case, the same thing might happen again if you didn't correct the camber alignment, have you checked the alignments at a tyre shop? My car's rear end has been lowered too much by the previous owner that the camber screw has been adjusted to max, yet it is still on -2 ++ :106: . Gotta switch out the suspensions and raise the height soon. [/QUOTE]
