skoda fabia III 2016.

I've had the tracking tested and that is spot on but both front tyres have a little wear on the inside edge.

Is there a way to adjust the camber? 

I should add that a previous mot test gave an advisory that 

" nearside/offside front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement Rear bush"

If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful  thanks

Was it just tracking or was it the alignment that checked?

 

Did you not speak to the person that did it about why the tyres were as they were?

Did the did the Tracking check for FREE? 

 

Were they qualified to make any adjustment and did they do an inspection of the suspension looking for damage or wear? 

The tracking & alignment was free as I had requested it and they don’t charge if there are no alterations. I’m wondering if it’s down to the advisories on a previous mot

@tich1958  Who did it for you?

 

Plenty do it free, but setting up and doing it takes time labour. Many do not know their arse from elbow and go through the motions.

With some it is best they touch nothing if they are clueless. 

The garage I went to in my area comes highly recommended from lots of returning customers. I actually watched him drive the car in and also watched him set his gear up. He called me in to show me that the laser light was pointing to where it should be, so at no point was any adjustments made

I think that most tyre/steering chains now have "alignment benchs/tables" - that sort of thing should be able to check camber, though a few years ago, my local one did not seem to have worked out what was needed to check the castor!

 

These rear bonded bushes do end up distorted in some cases and the material torn in others, I got the LHS one replaced under the 3 year warranty on my wife's August 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI, when changing the tyres to "winter" at the start of last winter, I spotted that the RHS rear mounting bush looked a bit distorted - as in the centre alloy bush had separated from the rubber material - so I replaced these bushes on both sides a few days ago, the hole in the rubber on the RHS is now oval with an "air gap" at each end, so that bush would be allowing quite a bit of "extra" movement - but no sign of uneven wear on the removed winter tyres - and I do measure them at 3 points after swopping tyres/wheels.

 

Next idea might be to check the track rods as the inner swivel joints can end up wearing and having a bit of free movement, I had that on a 2002 VW Polo 1.4 16V at around 90K miles, it had been reported as an advisory at the MOT, so I just replaced both track rods and maybe even both TREs.  Why I'm suggesting this is, if there is some slack in these track rods, the steering geometry will be free to move about.

@tich1958 - I wasn't thinking exactly the same thing(s), but I was having similar thoughts to @rum4mo about component wear that allows suspension to be in correct static alignment but go out of alignment when the vehicle is moving.

Suggest you go to somewhere with 4 wheel laser alignment equipment. I use my local Kwikfit. The equipment they use has a display screen in the waiting area, it quite clearly shows Toe in/out, Camber and Castor angles, not all are adjustable. At the end they provide a printed copy of the before and after position.  Again they only charge if it needs adjustment.

In my experience worn suspension arm rear bushes cause inner tyre wear. Get them replaced and then check wheel alignment.
