I am getting really bad tire wear on the inside of both of my front tires. I brought the car in for an allignment and they said the only thing they can adjust is toe and not the camber, and of course blamed it on my lowering springs. Is there anything easy to replace to try to fix my camber issues? I will post up the exact amount of degrees everything is off when I get home from work.

Well I am going to pick up one of the shims at genuine saab to fix my right rear tire. My fronts are about .2 degrees off of the highest section of the range. Do you think that would make my tires get corded in two months?

My car is like this... I've taken it to multiple places and they have adjusted it the best they can (so they say). It doesn't kill the tires too badly. I haven't experienced cording. They only worse so low to be bad when the tires had 50k on them anyways.

The biggest issue is that if you try to rotate them to the rear your ride will be really choppy from the back.

its not jsut cause of your lowering springs - I had an alignment about a week ago after putting on control arms. Even with stock suspension, you can only adjust toe. They cant adjust camber without having to use shims - which is outside normal practice for alignment shops sometimes.. Thanks Hkayssi for learnin' me on the subject.

as far as the front you might wanna try adjustable top mounts from Ksport, i know everyone hates them but its just a camber plate. seriously wanting to do this with the g/f 9-5.

How hard are the bushing to replace? Do I just need the inner and outer ones on GS? I put new tires on Friday night and looking at them yesterday the drivers side is almost corded so I need to do something.
