Hi,
I have noticed that the inside edge of all four tyres have worn badly and need replacing. Is this a common thing? The tyres have only done 28,000 km. Hoich

Thats ok k's for me,but it does sound like a decent wheel alignment is needed.

just make sure you take it to a place that does camber and castor
as most small time tyre shops that do"alignments" only do toe adjustment

You may need to purchase a camber castor kit, especially if your car has be lowered, or hit a few gutters which changes your alignment...

Sounds like you've lowered without adjusting camber?

If the alignment is done correctly as blackers10 has pointed out you shouldn't need a camber kit.

They could not adjust front camber enough to stop excessive inside front tyre wear & Ford told me to take a hike Fitted a pedders camber caster kit and got a quality alignment same time & has been perfect to 73000 ks Make sure you get a print out of the alignment readings as they have the recomended settings on them Cheers Autocade |
