Alignment issues in Hyundai Santro

[LEP89]

AOA; I have been told by my mechanic that to stop the unusual wear on inside of front tyres on my Hyundai Santro car I need to get a modification made from the machinist (KHARADIYA) so that camber angle can be adjusted. I was also told that almost none of the newer cars come with camber angle adustment and room for same has to be created through modification. Can anyone advise me with his experience on the issue and is it OK to go ahead with modification as advised by my mechanic or there is some better alternative to resolve the problem?

Why Dont U Visit Any Good Wheel Balancing And Allignment Guys!

[robin]

are u inclined towards getting -ve camber beyond factory specs ? that can be done by alignm't guys easily.

My mechanic has a wheel balancing and alignment shop I too though it can be adjusted in alignment. I don't want any adjustment beyond the normal specifications. Should I consult some other alignment shop? Kindly suggest one if you know. But question that is still hard to believe remains; is it true that newer cars don't come with any camber adjustment mechanism and it has been left upon our mechanics to devise one?

As advised I went to a alignment shop other day in cavalry ground that was recommended by a friend and guess what, after attaching all those paraphernalia and showing lot of hectic activity the guy tells me that camber as well as alignment is well within the specification. I am relieved but not satisfied with such conflicting opinions of two professional in the business of wheel alignment. Wear on my tires is for real and that is what keeps compelling me to further look for the answer. So I go to Internet and this is what I find
Yes most of newer cars don’t come with camber adjustment except for a minor adjustment allowed only in fewer steps, which mostly does not provide much of space to maneuver. Why? Because the manufacturers believe that their chassis specifications are so strict that there is no room for camber adjustment. Reality however is opposite and that is good for people in tire business as this practice has reduced the expected life of tire drastically. There is other category of people who are cashing on this lapse and these are the manufacturers of camber kits. Camber kit is specific to each car model and unfortunately car like mine i.e. Santro club don’t emerge in any search on the Internet for this purpose.
So search continues to look for the reasons of this wear on tires and I will appreciate all those who help me find the answer.

Should have a second opinion. I dont think any modification is required for mentioned problem.

To get a opinion/diagnosis, avoid the long tree of useless rhetoric of "he said, she said". Describe in detail the mileage/age of the car, the wheels and tires, their age and driving patterns or other relevant information.
Get your bushings and ball joints/rack ends checked and/or replaced. Also replace wheels if they're aftermarket alloys as they maybe bent or not balanced.

is it run only by u or driven by more than one driver ?

[LEP89]

Single and first hand driven, done 21000 KM in 18 months, all within the city never gone on highway, original rims (no Alloy Rims) and tires (General Radial). Problem; abnormal wear on inside of front tires, more on right side than on left. Digonostics; first opinion, modification required for camber adjustment, second opnion, nothing wrong change the tires. I will now get the bushings, ball joints and rack ends also checked as possible cause

it'd be due to taking sharp turns on high speed on rough surface + under inflated tires with -ve camber beyond factory specs.
