That tyre wear on the rear axle is due to an improper toe adjustment. You have a toe-in situation.

Thanks Alex. It's due a service within the next couple of weeks so I was going to ask them then.

No, wheel alignment is done only when there is a motive to do so. Like in your case.

Force them to check the alignment. For sure there will be discrepancies from standard.

Funny that - I have just had to replace the rear tyres and the outside edges of both had worn more than the insides. I had also had the rear diff replaced. However this was some 18 months and 30k miles ago, so still got pretty good mileage and fronts being replace tomorrow. Guess the alignment might be out slightly, but is it out enough to warrant the expense of an full re-alignment check....now out of warranty so would have to pay? |
