Camber issues.....

So only my back right tire is getting chewed up down to the wires on my 1987 951,
is this just a camber issue or something else? how do I adjust my camber back there? Or will I have to take it somewhere crazy to get it aligned?

Cheers!

Drew

I had a Boxster that I bought used from the dealship with new tires on it. After a couple of thousand miles I took it in to have a maintenance issue fixed and the right rear was completely bald. It seems the right rear had been hit and no one decided to check the alignment and covered the matter with new tires. A full alignment is in order it sounds like.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Are you getting inside/outside edge wear? That's more of a toe issue than camber.

Check your tire pressure. If it gets low, the inside edge of the rear tires will wear out FAST.
