Odd tire ware with eibach prokit

Gooseman396 · Mar 6, 2009, 07:08 AM

I bought my 2004 ralliart last summer. It had the Eibach pro kit installed and new tires. 8 months later the front tires seem to be wearing evenly but the back tires are nearly bald on the inside and fine on the outside of the tire. Seems like there is an alignment issue. This may seem like a dumb question but can the rear suspension be aligned by a tire center? If so any recommendations on where i should take it? Also is this common with aftermarket springs?

anytime you do suspension mods you need to get an alignment. for now you should rotate your tires.

Alinghment and new tires. Your lower control arm bushings may be bad as well. Or you may need a camber kit. Take it to a good shop, not some hack place.

Not sure where in Ohio you are, but check any local forums to see where people recommend for alignments. Belle Tire usually does a good job on non-Evos (they've occasionally used Lancer specs on Evos ;P) and doesn't charge too much (about $80.)

If your close to Mansfield, my buddy has his own shop. I had the exact same problem and it was my Lower Control Arms which he replaced in about 30 min and put and alignment on it. He did mine great and it has not worn my tires since.
