Excessive wear on passenger side tyre

Featured Replies

Hi people,i am get real bad wear (bold) on my passenger tyre. Its on the outside of the wheel, i did think it was tracking but a friend seems to think it could be more. Could anyone give me some suggestions on what to check please.... the car does also pull to the left when brief let go of the steering wheel,

 

Many thanks

If it were me, I would check all the suspension ball joints and bushes, paying particulr attention the the consol bushes. Then ensure that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.  Then have the steering geometry checked.

 

You may also need to change the front tyres to feel the full benefit of any changes from the above.

Cheers guys, got a brand new tyre today :).... also found that the tyre kept going low after 3 days for some reason... I did think may have been that, but still going to check the bushes as mentioned. The eBay link you showed.... are they what I will need to replace mate ??
