Uneven Tyre Wear

Recommended Posts

Guest AndyD

Hay,

 

Both my front tyres are worn on about a 1/3 of the tread on the inside quite badly. I am thinking the camber is out. But as you carnt alter the camber at the wishbones I am not sure.

 

Any thoughts?

Check the tracking - excessive toe-out will cause wear on the inside edge of both front tires

Thanks for that :( It is going for two new tyres on Friday, so will get the tracking checked then.

Knackered wishbone bushes and ball joints can also lead to this.

Just for future reference. I had two new tyres fitted yesterday and the tracking checked. The tracking was way out! So looks like that was the problem. She feels a lot better, so hope this will have solved the problem.

 

Thanks for the bits of advice :blush:

was it toeing out? i expect so, does it feel more stable at speed in a straight line now?

 

and you are right there is no camber adjustment on std front suspension
