Thanks for the tip. Craig faxed Alon Bulletin #13, which give the procedure for toe measurement and adjustment using tapered shims. I agree with you, the toe issue probably is the most detrimental to tire wear.
New tires were installed about 100 hours ago and are down to the wear indicator depth on the inside half of the tire. The negative camber is very obvious when viewed from front or back. I'm hoping Aerodog logs on to give us his opinion.
Granted, the absorption is a result of lateral movement...

I can understand shimming to correct the toe-out issue. Any ideas on the negative camber? I believe the next step is probably to pull the gear and check for any signs of bending.
Thanks. I'll check the Cessna shims.
In a forum Feb. 05, Aerodog described work on spring landing gear for Alon Aircoupe. This gear replaced the Bellville spring suspension gear, which was used on all early "Ercoupe" models and some later Alon "Aircoupe" aircraft.
Question: When alignment issues arise (toe-out, negative camber)...
