B-Body Buick Steering Camber
61 Buick Lesabre
bagged
18's on front 20's on rear
These full size cars are designed that the wheels "camber" on cornering, that is the wheel tilts into the corner
Problem is I'm chewing through front tyres at a rate of one set per year as I daily drive this thing almost 12,000 miles per annum
I have castor and camber set to factor specs, lower control arm is parallel to the ground so no pressure on the ball joint.
I'm wondering if upgrading to aftermarket steering and suspension components may help reduce the cornering camber. Ride tech, Speedtech etc
Problem is Buick B Bodies are not the same as Chevy. Steering is at the front, not the rear of the cross member.
I don't know enough about steering geometry to know if changing to aftermarket would improve this, or not.
Would love to hear thoughts
