P1000 Too Much Weight, Maybe?

[Bighat]

My front tires are wearing like crap on the end side. I just checked the toe and adjusted it to about 3/16 to 1/4 in. But, when I look at the machine it looks like the camber maybe off. I looks like it'squatting a little. Any fixes anyone?

I thought the P1's had a camber adjustment? If not, adding preload to the springs will help.

No pre load on the p1 stock shocks.
What u need is some New A arms to correct that. Stockers suck doo dads! There always making things funky like that. I played that game with the fronts and rears for a short while, bit the bullet and never looked back

Are you saying shocks with preload will correct it? I would love to have better shocks on the front.

I’m guessing aftermarket A-arms with adjustable camber. @Remington ?

Looks like alignment toe out.

mine did same. First set only had 700 miles and looked like that. Reset it and now have over 2k on some BH2.0 take offs with little to no wear.

Thats a 10-4

These guys know more about the P1 than I do. I just know that on my P5, if I had too much preload on the front shocks that it would make the tops of my tires tip out. Lowering them straightened it out.

I agree that it looks like the tires being toed out caused the uneven wear. Not sure why Honda would send them out this way. My 22 was way out. On the rear, one wheel is straight the other side toed in and there’s no adjusting it. It’s definitely not a race suspension and for its intended purposes will probably be just fine.
But toe in on the front will make it track better and help tires last longer

I toed the front in yesterday. It was off quit a bit from factory. Cant' figure that because they had there famous yellow marking on the tie rod nut. I drove it a little but I'm going to pull it in the garage and check it again just to make sure I got where I think I got it.

So long as the tires sort of point forward seems to be the factory goal. It’s been a known thing to check for years at this point.

The paint markings are there to give a warm fuzzy feeling, especially when it’s a different color to give the implication of some Extra Love....

For certain

I think the assembly line check gauge is a piece of warped lumber from lowes.

Looking from the partial view on your second photo, that winch looks pretty darn big (read heavy) and to compound that it is mounted forward of the OEM location normally hidden behind the bumper / bash plate. That extra weight compounded by the location can affect your front suspension performance, and sag which in turn makes the camber appear to lean in at top. Weight does matter especially the farther forward it is placed.

Your tire wear was likely due to the toe in out of adjustment that you adjusted.

Ow, so you are sayin weight can lead to premature wear on the extremities, food for thought! HA! Just dig-gin at you big guy! In humor.
