Excess camber will wear the tire out on the inside. Excess toe will wear the tire out on the outside. In the right combination of both there COULD be excess wear across the tire. I'm at 12.5k miles now and the rear tires are still above 7/32, barely a measurable amount.
Now that I have a camber gauge, I can fix it myself, as I stated in my first couple of posts on this thread. I have heard nothing from Mitsubishi since the 28th of August when the selling dealership found the alignment was out of specs. With the capability of measuring alignment myself, I no longer have to "bend and pay" an alignment shop to check my work.
On the Fiesta forum there was a member posting who was a customer rep for Ford and she helped people resolve issues with their Fiestas. I always admired the willingness of Ford to actually have a person communicating with customers and actually DOING something for people with problems and the 6speed dual clutch transmissions were problematic when they first came to the US.
It would be nice to read a single post from someone at Mitsu corporate giving us a heads up on their plans to address this issue, instead of leaving us to speculate on what might happen. Personally I'm beginning to think class action. Implied warranty of merchantibility is hard to ignore and I guarantee you this issue has cost them customers. Act like you give a damn Mitsubishi.
After playing with it I can wait until I get something concrete from corporate, my turnbuckle rig will stay in place. If nothing will be done, then I will heat the welded end of the stub axle and bend it myself until I get the toe and camber close to minimum specs, versus close to maximum for toe and over maximum for camber.
Other than that I can easily say my Mirage is one of my favorites of over 200 cars I have owned, including over 150 salvage rebuilds since a 1966 Chevy Van in 1973.
