[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 47891, member: 126"] Thank you for the pics bro. Both your tires look like the condition of my right side tire. Which is very very good indeed for a E34. I've done some deep thinking these few days as to what the biggest contributor of tire wear could be and please read and let me know if there is a flaw in my logic. 1. Tire wear on the inner side of the tire is definately caused by negative camber. 2. Toe-in will cause tire wear on the outer side of the tire. 3. By combining negative camber and toe-in, uneven tire wear can be reduced because both your inner and outer side of your tire will wear out evenly by compensating for one another. 4. When your bushes are not in good shape, your toe condition cannot be maintained thus you could have your toe-in reduced or even have toe-out thus you lose the compensating factor for negative camber. Thus my problem is not a lowered ride caused by weakened springs because you guys are riding lower than I am. My problem is that my bushes are dead thus my car will toe-out during acceleration and toe-in during braking and return to it's normal state when stationary so alignment machines cannot tell me anything. My tire wear condition is caused by bushings!!! Correct ah? :dunno: [/QUOTE]
