Guess it wasn't clear. I just got a flat due to serious camber wear. I bought used tires with about 90% of life no more than a month ago and and today my tires (front tires) are extremely worn out from the inside due to camber wear ...upgrades (front) Megan racing tie rod and tie rod ends, d-max coil overs with adjustable camber, Godspeed control arm, Godspeed tension rods. Please If anyone knows how to do camber work please help or if anyone knows of a good shop that specializes in Nissan let me know please

Incorrect toe is wearing your tire out faster then the camber. I run alot of camber up front and tires will last about 8 months.

Then you have serious problems! I do my own aligents without any special tools and have no problems. If a shop did yours then something else is up, or they suck.

If alignment is good (which I highly doubt), do you have a welded diff? That would be the next thing causing you to eat tires.

If its the front, you're bushing are probably done. They probably aligned it to specs, but the moment the car moved, alignment shifted due to fucked up bushings.

Get a measuring tape, see if the wheels are parallel to each other. Basically, measure the front wheels on back and front of the tires at roughly the same height, if they're not even, then your toe is off. You can adjust the tie rod end to correct them until they're even.

IE alignment
I just got an alignment this past tuesday from Fontana Nissan for $80 flat. The service writer gave me a coupon otherwise it is more like $120. They also warranty it for 12,000 miles/ 12 months. Car feels good so far.

shake down the front end, check for any play
Side to side play may be inner tierod, outer tierod end
Up and down may be ball joints/bushings
Up and down and side to side may be a bad wheel bearing
or multiple parts
Also is anyone telling these alignment techs what specs you want or are they setting to oem specs? always ask for a printout...otherwise they probably didnt do a precise alignment

Glad yours enjoying the car.. I put that suspension together myself.. (minus the stuff you swapped out and replaced) Should've hit me up.. could've given you the specs I was running. FYI the diff in the car is OS Gieken, unless you took it out.

Out of curiosity.. you ever gonna hold up your end of the deal? Lol
