    Default question for ya !!!!!!!!!!

    the inside of my tyre is wearing , some one today told me the camber on vectra c's cant be adjusted. i should point out its only the front tyres wearing on the inside , the back ones are fine. so is it true the camber cant be adjusted on the front.?

    ps...19" rims

    standard shocks with 35mm apex lowering springs.

    right if your rear camber is out it also puts your front out to compensate

    i had 2 front tyres wear so bad on the inner edge that they went through to the metal banding because the rear camber was out due to wornrear trailing arms

    when i had the tyres changed they checked the front tracking and it was spot on

    id get your suspension set up checked

    There is about a degree of adjustment in the bolt holes so you can adjust it a bit.

    Get it 4 wheel aligned and see if it is out.

    Wear on the inside edge of the tyre is more commonly associated with toe out.

    Camber (angle of the wheel to the vertical axis when viewed from the front) is not really adjustable, and I cannot see how rear camber will affect front camber. The camber is set by design.
