Tracking.

Could also be the angle they're sitting at. Worst case scenarioa somethinf wrong with the suspension?
Best case scenario, you need the tracking adjusted.

On my saloon, the rear tyres started to wear on the inside, 4 wheel tracking sorted the problem, at the time (about 2003) it cost me £40

tyre wear

Post by muffindell »

Both my rears were wearing on the inside, despite the stealers saying that the track was in tolerence (yeah right, that's why its wearing!) so I told em to track it to what the car needed, not what the 'book' said it needed. They were baffled with my request, but did it after insisting that it would be ok. That was about 5weeks ago and 2.5k since then, everything seems to be okay now.
