Uneven tyre wear

Featured Replies

I’ve just bought a Fabia green line . It has a a worn outside edge in the front nearside . Also pulls to the left . Any ideas . Start with tracking maybe 

Alignment check, inspection from below, adjustment as required, but the adjustment after the new tyres are on.

@deanmarshall73 - I'd start by getting an independent garage to have a look at the suspension. I'm not saying this is the case but I've seen similar caused by worn ball joints or bushes.

You have access to the car; I don't. But you know we're thinking on similar lines.

If it has had a new ball joint, perhaps it was not set up properly. I have known garages to just guesstimate this kind of thing and unless you pay for a proper tracking/alignment set up, that is all you will get!

Then, six months down the line or even sooner, the tyres are F C U K'ed!
