Thanks people, much appreciated for the replies. Going to take it to a trusted mechanic to check all steering and suspension parts, then possibly to my local ATS for tracking and tyres....

Just one more question good people... Does the octavia have a solid rear axle ? Can you alter the alignment at the back ? Don't want them to try and push 4 wheel alignment on me if it's not possible.....you know what some garages are like.....

Thanks for the replies.... Both garages have said that re alignment of the front wheels are going to move the affected wheel even more, so it will increase inner wear...so in other words the wrong way you would think.....but to move it the other way, as you would think to correct it, the alignment mirrors they use will be a mile out, as they say...! ..both respectable local tyre garages used...........Does the old fashioned alignment method detect camber ? Maybe not.....so I reckon I will have to bite the bullet and go to my local ATS and pay for a full tracking check......☹️☹️☹️

Hi Everybody, I'm a new member so bare with me on this. My 2017 tdi Octavia estate is suffering from inner tyre wear from one of the front tyres.I have had the tracking checked at 2 different tyre garages, and both say exactly the same thing. It is very slightly out, but altering the alignment and making it right with the equipment, will cause more wear from the inside of the tyre that's the problem....I have had all the suspension checked at another garage as well as it just going through its MOT....and not a problem......the car runs smooth and straight with no pull to one side whatsoever...Thinking now to go to a 4 wheel alignment place, but am i wasting money ? Rear tyres are spot on.....Any ideas anybody ?
