Felony uneven wear of rear tyres

[davidD]

Hi there folks,

I'm getting puzzled with the wearing of the rear tyres of my felony. See pictures attached.

I just run it for 3 times without touching a thing from factory. I just received today a new pair of rear tyres and I'd like to wear them off equally. What should I adjust?

Thanks in advance.

That would be your camber. You have negative camber in that pic which isn't a bad thing, you might have too much for your driving purposes.

Thx for the fast reply @gotnitro. How difficult would be to adjust them? Is it just a screw?
I'm a newbie, sorry

You adjust the turn buckle or camber link outlined in RED.

EDIT: @davidD You turn that buckle in one direction leaving it in the car, it will either open up or close. One side of the link is reverse threaded so they go in or out with one direction or the other.

As @gotnitro stated above......you have too much negative. You need to widen those turnbuckles to “push“ the top of the tire outwards but not too much. You never want “positive “ camber, always a bit of negative camber.
Heres a pic from another manual ( not the felony) that may help you visualize what’s happening.

Wow, thanks for the info @KevinC. Very useful indeed!

does anybody have good tools for that? ATM, I'm using a regular adjustable wrench from Ikea but, I have to say it's a total piece of c***

Do you know the size of the front and back turnbuckles?

Tools in the bag of extra of parts will fit. Small flat wrench off hand. Or your adjustable wrench will work for this.
