Guys I own 2005 mazda premacy (mazda 5) - japan made. Is it true that the tire wearing problem can be fixed by going for a tradiotional wheel alignment with old age tools as opposed to the computer???

 

Highly unlikely; sorry to say.

 

come on guys we got to have a solution to this mazda predicament

 

Hey guys as you see it I am also in need of anything that can help me to keep in touch with my premacy. any links pls, especially for owners maintanance and some diagonitics

 

Hey Ngamla. I am new here but I did find the answer to your problems in the "What year is your tire eating Mazda5" thread. I just bought my M5 two days ago, (used), knowing that the first thing that I was going to have to do is buy some new tires for it. I went into the tire shop fully armed with the camber angle problem that was eating the inner edge of the back tires. The guy at the shop suggested that I needed an alignment, to which I responded that it is a manufacture "flaw" that has the rear camber angle at such a degree as to cause the uneven wear that he was seeing......he didn't believe me. The car was already up on the lift at the time so the angle was not apparent. So after explaining to him that I need to remove the stock upper rear arm assembly in the rear and install an adjustable upper rear arm he said, "great solution, that's going to fix it for good."
So I would like to thank Madmotojoe for such a comprehensive and complete posting and solution to the problem.....but as well I would like to pass it on if you haven't found it.

 

Yup. What he said....

Invest in a set of upper rear camber/control arms that are adjustable ($100-$150 American.) Have your favorite alignment shop set the rear to (+/-) -1* camber and 0" of toe and the tire eating Mazda5 will be gone. Plus you are not even likely to notice the difference.
Win/Win!!

 

Thanks in advance guys, I will see what to do.
