My last set of tires wore away completely on the insides long before
the rest of the tread was gone. I was talking to one of my buddies
and he had the same problem. I'm thinking the axle develops a bow in
it. So earlier this spring I left the floor jack under the middle of
it with it jacked up some. Too early to tell if the new tires are
wearing the same or not. Can't measure the distance between them at
the top and bottom cause the street and the boat are in the way so I
don't know if the camber is ok now or not. Anyone else have this
problem and do any investigating?
and you could rotate the axle upside down for more camber if its bowing
the
wrong way.
Unfortunately my axle is not symetrical, the spindles are welded on
top of it. I wish it was though, I first thought the same thing!
Lay a straight edge across the top of the axle. A 4' level should do. You
ought to be able to tell if it's bowed up a little.
