RR 2" Lift - Rear Camber Problem
Hi All,
I have a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara X-Sport 4x4 with a 2" lift (RR). The 2" lift was installed at around 5,000 miles. I ran the 2" lift on the original Yokohama tires until they were replaced at about 44,000 miles.
I then replaced all four with Pirelli Scorpion ATRs.
12,000 miles later, the rear tires are almost bald on their outer edge, with the inner edge having plenty of meat on them. The passenger side rear is slightly worse than the driver-side rear. The front tires still have plenty of life left on them. I believe they were rotated once during the 12,000 miles.
Is it possible to have the rear suspension put back into factory camber spec? I know the front struts can be fixed with camber bolts (which I've done - and that's fine), but the rear I'm told is not correctable from the 1.1-1.2 degrees off-center that the kit runs at. Anyone else heard different?
My only other alternatives would be to remove the lift, rotate the tires (much?) more frequently, or switch tire brands to something which handles the off-camber suspension a bit better.
Thoughts?
