I just rotated my wheels because my drivers side front tyre is wearing quite fast on the inside (camber related I think - which isnt' something they adjust when you take it in for wheel alignment). I have done the rotation so at least all the tyres wear evenly. I did this once on my old VR4 without getting an alignment and then drove to the snow and the tyres were munted, but maybe this was because it was full time 4wd?
Anyway the question is, should I get a wheel alignment after rotating my wheels?
Wheel alignment after rotation?
Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
you can adjust the camber on these isuzu's, i will try and find the diagram of it, there are shims that are placed between the control arm mounting and the fulcrum pin. By adding shims in here you add positive camber, which will fix your wear on the inside of the tyre issue.
Another way of fixing this is by winding up the torsion bars as this too adds positive camber

Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
Torsion bars are already wound up 40mm or so. Keen to see this diagram. Where would you get the shims from?
Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
Any wheel alignment shop should have them. If they don't go some where else
Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
Get a wheel alignment otherwise you are just going to wear out more tyres.
Like Pig75 says, if the place you go to can't do this then you should be going somewhere else. A good wheel alignment place will do this easily.

Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
no point doing wheel alignment till the wheel bearings are fixed. For wheel alignment go to either Beurepairs on thorndon quay or g guy motors in hutt road. Expect to pay a little more for a proper 4wd alignment. No point going to the boy racer shop they dont know how to deal with shim adjustment
Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
Wheel bearings are adjusted, didnt need replacing. I had a chat to the tyre shop in kelburn and yeah the guy didnt know what I was talking about. I said I would take it in 2moro but I think im going to head to one of these places you recommend so I dont waste my money...
Re: Wheel alignment after rotation?
Most wheel alinment places dont no how to do a 4x4 properly. If u can find a good place promote them on here!!!
