Rear Tyres Inward Lean Causes / Fix by 100ksalescom(m): 10:45am On Oct 23, 2014 |
Hello My Fellow Nairalanders, recently i observed some suvs back tyres have this inward lean to it. I would like to know the cause and also the fix to it as i have observed mine is not as straight as it should be but not obvious though. Is it an expensive fix or a wheel alignment can fix it? Here is a pix of what i am talking about below for clarity. Its an opportunity to learn as well. Thanks

Depending on the model it may have been engineered that way. The BMW X5 is a good example. That is called camber, a negative camber. It's used to reduce the roll point of a vehicle. What you don't want is improper toe, either too in or out. We'll discuss toe on the next lesson |

I have noticed this in most Honda SUVs. Im not so sure they were built that way. 2 Likes |

100ksalescom: Well with the constant over loading conditions on Nigerian roads and total lack of road safety officials then it may be that the rear axle is bent. |

Honda SUVs are a special case, most of them do NOT have adjustable cambers. The element is also designed to have a slight negative camber. |

oseo1: True, but the beam can bend under duress. Years back when I had a Nissan Sentra the popular way to introduce camber was to bend the rear beam axle. They can be bent to introduce camber. |
