Hey Guys,
I've been noticing an increase in tire noise over the last few days and worried because we've had so many cases of bad bearings on this forum.
First off, I had an alignment done at Altech two days ago on Sat, and I assume they would inspect and not go through with the alignment if there was a bad wheel bearing. Alignment done, no probs.
Turns out my rear cambers were extremely bad (-2.8,-2.9) and I had driven like that for the 2 weeks I had my springs + camber installed (approx 800-1000km). Is there a chance that those 1000km driven on bad camber could have that negative of an effect on tire wear that now that my alignment is fixed, its just normal noise from tire wear?
The noise gets louder with speed but it seems to be uniform; I can't sense it coming from a particular tire; there's no steering wheel shake. It seems to fade/decrease on smoother pavements. It's almost nonexistent at low speeds and doesn't change while turning/changing lanes.
Any help/comments would be appreciated.
