uneven tyre wear
Hello
Well actually, the tyre wear is hardly noticable, but can see that front tyres, about 10000 on it now, show a little more wear on the outside than inside, both, but driver side is clearly noticable.
Steering is ok, no wobbling, but if hands off, or sometimes when repeated breaking (no hands) the steering wheel would trun a little anticlockwise. I get the feeling that I have just apply a little, little force to keep steering wheel stright and stop it drifting anticlockwise.
Does anyone think this might be a tracking issue or a 4 wheel alignment job? Or nothing

RE: uneven tyre wear
Definately a wheel alignement issue.
If the outer area of the tire is wearing its most likely a toe issue. To adjust the toe you need to adjust camber first so a 4 wheel alignment is needed.
Worn upper control arm bushings won't affect tire wear enough to notice, none the less they should be checked.

RE: uneven tyre wear
even though it is also noticable when braking, its not all the time, but the general drift is very slightly there, so I would agree a 4 wheel alignment will have to done, which is costly!!! eeeeeeehhhhhhhhh
more for the tax man!!!

I paid $100 for my 4 wheel alignment at PAS, a local Indy shop specialized in German cars as well as Ferrari and Lotus. They have that new machine, supposedly the best from Germany... Beizbarth or something like that
