wheel alignment inner tyres already wearing
« on: July 11, 2015, 05:31:09 pm »
Hi my rear tyres have already started to wear on the inside and have been on for a few months. Is it worth getting the hunter 4 wheel alignment done now or when I next get a new set of tyres?

How old are the rear shockers?

Get a 4 wheel alignment

I was told (by a garage I trust) that the heavy camber doesn't wear the inner edge on it's own.
It's all about the toe angle Too much toe in/out forces the tyres down the road sideways. That combined with the factory heavy camber wrecks the inner edge.

Had the same problem on my Golf.

im guessing 7 years as its an 08 plate on 70k. I thought it may be shocks il ask the garage  :happy2: U think I should wait for my next set of tyres before doing a 4 wheel alignment?
