O/S front scrubbed badly on the inside

[speedsix]

Noticed today, this has happened sometime in the past month. N/S looks a little worn on the inside but O/S is completely fooked round the inside edge. Pressures are checked regularly.

Tracking??


Not happy

Are they the same tyre N/S and O/S? If so then its likely tracking or you turn one direction more than the other.

Definitely tracking.

Tracking was out, cheers chaps.

 

[TheOtherSimon]

About 3 degrees?

As you car gets older it will need the lower balljoints renewing - they have the most effect on tracking.

I have just had exactly the same problem.

The tyre looks brand new until you turn the wheel out and the inside edge is totally bald.

I went and had the tracking sorted and he did say it was well out.

Problem is the car is still slightly veering to the left.

I took the car back and had the tracking chaecked and he said it was spot on.

Could this be because i haven't changed the bald tyre yet or is it possibly the lower balljoints as someone has just suggested??????

Veering off to one side is more likely to be camber than tracking. Sounds like you need the entire front suspension looking at.
