cklegacy2006 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I had my 2006 Legacy lowered with H&R springs a little over a year ago and ever since then I have been wearing tires out like crazy. It's always the front inside that wears out the quickest. Before I go in tomorrow for a "strut adjustment" I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions to solving my issue. I have heard places talk about cambers, and sway bars. I have little experience with suspension, any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Those springs lower the car a lot and increase negative camber as a result. It is crucial to get the car aligned after unbolting the struts. So, a new alignment will help your tire wear problem. Also, make sure to check your tire pressure. I recommend running 31 psi cold as a bare minimum. Camber is the tilt of the wheel toward or away from the centerline of the car. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lie495s14 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 should a alignment be done right after new springs installed or should wait till they are sattled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The rule of thumb I learned is to drive 50 miles or so and then get the car aligned. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 lol. That is, drive 50 miles and get an alignment after you make a major change to the suspension. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
