Positive camber, please help

[The_young_once]

hi guys, i drive a suzuki carry 1.3 petrol van, and notice that the front wheels have a positive camber, ie the wheels 'tilt' outwards at the top. if you look from the front view of the vehicle, the front wheels form a mild V shape, and this is causing uneven wear, the outside edge of my front tires wear out real quick, like in 10k+ km. but i noticed this is not only my problem, other same model vans i observed also have this, but is there any way to fix it? im changing to a new set of G3's soon, dont want uneven wear to kill my new 'sports' tires

but i dont think its a fault with my van, its just that all suzuki carry 1.3 vans have this thing, since its not a fault can it be 'fixed'? by the way, how much would such a service cost?

Hi! there, The_Young_Once,

 

If that's the case, get the agents to fix the problem.

 

Seems like they expect you to have a fully loaded van at all times.

If the van was designed to have this positive camber, there must b a reason or maybe it has run out of alignment.

 

Go to a good tire shop with computerised wheel alignment facilities & see if it has gone out of the factory settings.

Just increase the toe-in will be sufficient to counteract the camber pulling force. Positive camber is neccessary to allow easy rolling and toe-in is necessary to keep the vehcile move straight ahead.
