tyre rubbing

[LOW VX]

does a vx have a camber kit on it allready and if so do u have adjust it when u lower them and will this stop the tyre rubbing on the tyre rubbing on the back right guard.

Your VX does not have a camber kit. It has a control arm to mimimise tyre wear.. It can be adjusted, but get it done only by a professional (ie Pedders)..

It should stop tyres scrubbing. Depends on how low though.. Apparently it stops working after Super Lows..

nope, VXs dont have camber kits on them, how big r ur tires and rims, if they r too big u may have to look into rolling your guards

I thought all series 2 vx commodores came with a camber kit????? I was told on this forum that my 2002 VX COmmodore Acclaim S2 had a camber kit.

NO NO NO..

All series 2 VX's came with a control arm, not a camber kit..

Both mean no/less tyre wear.. So it's all good..

On the subject of tyre rubbing...
Just put some 19x8 rims on my baby...

Now the rear RHS is fine...hasn't rubbeed once...
While the LHS rear is a bitch!
It rubs under acceleration, cornering and bumps!

Im gettin my guards rolled this tuesday but i was wondering...

Will a 4 point camber kit HELP the situation or make it worse??

It's often when the castor is out that the tyre rubs.. More likely is a loose inner guard or the radiator overflow tanks clip..

 

[Jesterarts]

In reference to the radiator overflow tank...
thats to do with the front....

Im not having problems with the front at all because i only have SL in there...
The back is where my problem rests...

Jst looked at my tyre size...found another problem i think...

The 17's i have were 235/45/17

The 19's are 245/35/19 so they are wider!

Is it possible for me to put a 240 or 235 tyre on my rim?? is a 19x8...

My bad.. I didn't read the rear bit..

I've got no ideas about the rears rubbing. Probably let Pedders look at it with their $14 safety check..

They're usually spot on..
