Re: [Healeys] Moss Motors adjustable camber bushing set

[Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net>]

Pretty normal IMO. No matter what camber setting you have, when you corner 
you'll have some body roll and the moments of inertia will shift to the outside 
of the turn. This causes the tire to roll towards the inside of the turn, and 
to put more weight and hence more wear on the outer part of the tire. The rear 
tires wear more on the outside, too, but not as much as the front. 

More modern/better suspensions do a better job of keeping the tire/wheel 
orthogonal to the road through the suspension arc, but tires on most cars will 
generally wear more on the outside. 

Remedy: never turn.

Alone the "camber" discussion line, can anyone tell me -- 
1. Why my front tires are wearing slightly on the outside edges? 65 BJ8 

2. How to remedy this? 

thanks
