Rear tires are not straight even after the alignment

[Darren D]

Just for clarity, the hand drawn sheet has camber listed as 1 degree 30 minutes, not 1.3 degrees.

when defining angles under the imperial system there are degrees, minutes and seconds rather then the decimal system

1 degree 30 minutes is equal to 1.5 degrees, not 1.3 degrees.

^^^^ that zero up the top next to the one is the symbol for degrees mate. A old school guy done my wheel alignment and he is great. The only guy I found in Adelaide who could get my lowered car on his machine/setup.

That sheet isn't the OPs either it's mine, for comparison purposes. So your smart troll like comment is pointless

Well you can act like an ignorant bed wetter or you can listen and learn.

Sure, that symbol is for degrees, the symbol next to is for minutes.

That is how angles are measured accurately in the imperial system.

I am not a troll I am trying to assist you.

See here: Degrees, Minutes, Seconds | Zona Land Education

That reading is 1 degree 30 minutes, which equates to 1.5 degrees in the decimal format.

Not that it makes a bit of difference to me but it may to the tyres.

But I don't care what my wheel alignment saids. I know the only way I can get zero camber is to raise my car up.

Hussein cares about his. His wheel alignment is better then mine so I said his wheel alignment isn't to blame for his bald rear tyres.

However helpful you feel telling how to read a report is, it won't help the original poster.

You can get zero camber without raising your car....They have camber adjustment in the back of VE's. I have done plenty of lowered VE's and still got zero camber...There is about 2 to 3 degrees of camber adjustment to be had with these

Hussien's problem is an alignment issue....He obviously has buggered bushes, or loose camber and/or toe adjuster bolts, which is causing the rear tyres to move across the road surface, whilst driving....

Unfortunately, most people assume it's to do with burnouts, but VE commodores are prone to wearing rear tyres out, due to weak bushes...

No I cant. My factory camber adjustment is maxed out!!!! I have to raise my car (yes it's that low) or buy adjustable gear from the like if superpro or BMR

I believe Hussein issue is bushes and not the alignment as such. New bushes and a new alignment and he'll see difference.

This is what your alignment specialist said?

IMA, there are plenty of alignment places around Adelaide that can get super low commodores on their hoists

I have been under the car and look myself.....

Adelaide Tyrepower at Mile End, Tyre right at Salisbury (I worked there for 8 years, before it was renamed tyre right, so I now that hoist exceptionally well), Conquest Tyrepower at Welland.....there's 3...Need some more? If so, how many and what area?

 

[ducker85]

Mate you don't know my car. It won't fit on a hoist at Tyre Right...... my wheel alignment was done with old manual equipment recessed in concrete I drove 'onto' nothing and I dont have 100mm ground clearence.

I know you wanna help but you can't help me. I'm happy with my car and know it a lot better then YOU!
