Tire wear

[Talbz]

When I finally found a LGT that wasn't completely trashed, I was happy to discover that the previous owner had installed Tein H lowering springs. Initially car rode great, but after about 20K miles, my rear tires have uneven tire wear primarily on the inside of the tire. I now have an enjoyable wub-wub-wub wub noise.

 

After getting the suspension inspected, and bushings were noted as worn but not failed. All components 'Pass' visible inspection and road test.

 

Now that I know that lowering springs are installed, what should I focus on upgrading in order to prevent future tire issues? Found the following parts on whiteline's site:

 

KTA124 – Camber/Toe Correction Kit

KCA307- Lock Bolt Kit

KCA313 - Center/Bump Steer Kit

 

Anyone have any experience with them or suggestions for correcting this issue?

Replaced cupped tires last week and still have a rhythmic noise that starts at about 40mph, then gets loudest between 55-60mph. Wheel bearing??

I see no mention of your having an alignment done. That would be the first step.

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

 

Get the camber kit and have them installed when getting the alignment done. Lowering a car creates a lot of negative camber which can not always be corrected by factory adjustments.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Alignment is scheduled, machine was down when tires were installed. I failed to mention that I had an alignment performed in December, which technician felt was the real reason for my tire wear.

 

Also, can feel a bit of vibration in steering wheel while hearing the noise. Can't seem to hear a difference when attempting to load one side.

 

Whats the average labor to replace a hub assembly?

 

I have so many questions!!
