​

The issue of tire wear has persisted in Tesla vehicles for several years, with each tire potentially costing up to $600 and having a lifespan of only 5-8k miles.

One of the options on the market is an adjustable camber arm. The part itself would cost between $1k to $1.5k depending on the brand, plus labor, which is another 3-4 hours. It can cost as high as $2500 just to reduce the camber on the rear.

Adjustable camber arms are great for folks who track their cars and need the ability to dial in camber from event to event. However, for most owners who use their cars daily, the ability for adjustment is not as important, as the camber will be set at a certain amount and will remain unchanged for the rest of the ownership.
_________________

At Secret-EV, we are looking for a solution that can permanently provide camber reduction at a reasonable cost.

In response to this challenge, we have developed a precision-engineered shim kit designed to mitigate camber-related issues and extend tire tread longevity.

Crafted from high-grade 6061-T6 alloy, our shims are meticulously machined to seamlessly fit between the camber arm and frame, effectively reducing camber misalignment.

Red Shim: Offers a camber reduction of 1.5 degrees, ideal for stock wheel setups or with 21x10.5 ET35 or higher offset.
(Red shims come with extended 10.9 grade carbon steel bolt)

Looking at the camber in the before and current numbers. They are the same. Toe changed, but not camber. So the shims did not change the camber? I used shims to adjust camber in a Solo Race car. The shims were washers. Just watched the video, and saw initial camber was -2.4, so not sure where your chart is from. -2.4 is way too much for any street car, no wonder the insides wear out. Had some negative camber on my Model 3, and I flipped the tires on the rims and got another 10k out of the tires.

The customer install the shims in the garage and that’s the reason before and after camber is the same. Main thing to know is the camber is now at around -1.0. (-2.5 before per customer) Toe was changed due to the camber reduction, therefore alignment is recommended.

Brian from i1Tesla had a shop install them and he did check alignment before & after shims is install.

This is awesome! Now I can purchase the 21's I always wanted without having to install the Camber arms. Thank you!

-1.0 is a much better number for street use. Will improve the life of the tires. So many articles site the weight of the EV as a reason for excessive tire wear, but really it's the factory alignment settings that are causing this. Not just camber but toe as well. The rear toe in the above chart shows how off it was.

This has always been a good solution and I used to use fender washers back in the day to achieve the same results.
