hey i got a stock 97 VS S series 2 and notice that they back tires sit on a weird angle. ive heard that the lower ur car is the more this happens, but its seems a bit weird cause its at stock height...

it also seems that the left rear tire is bend in a bit more then the right..

i had a 4 wheel alignment done bout 1 month ago & the guy said that my tires arent wearing badly... (but its always been like that since ive bought it)

any idea's and should i b stressin ova it..

thanks ppl..

Its the camber of the tyres - camber kit can fix when lowered tho, most commodores have that drama ya can notice the camber difference from the vt compared 2 the ford Au - Ford gota get something right lol Most Commodores also wear out on the inside of the tyre.

Talk to a real suspension person.

It is fixable. May need to replace bushes in the links, reset the toe in and camber settings.

New springs can help too - as the springs get old they sag (like most things :)).
