tyre wear

[les]

This seems a bit unusual; n/s front wearing on the inside, o/s wearing on the outside. Doesn't sound like tracking to me!

you could always drive aroung the roundabouts for an hour a day to even it up

[les]

Hadn't thought of that Ray, problem solved! This lateral thinking is great stuff.

are your wheels at 90 degrees to the road surface? one of mine is well off, I get huge tyre wear on the Outside of the n/s front

I would get the tracking checked Les as it sounds to me like the last time it was set they did not move the car after adjusting it, the car should always be moved backwards and forwards after adjustment and then rechecked as this can make quite a difference, unless as Ray says you live in an area full of roundabouts like Milton Keynes.

MATT...your front wheels should not be at 90 degrees to the
road! the top should be further out than the bottom. this
amount is built in to the steering geometry so you should
check the EYE BOLT which passes through the chassis leg.
Someone may have added a spacer in the wrong place or
the chassis leg may have collapsed inwards??(the chronic wear
on the outside edge suggests that the angle from the bottom
outwards is too great).

[Matt]

trust me, my front wheel isn't at 90 degrees to the road, more like 105 (top out bottom in)...... i might sort it out soon....im sure you remember my post about clipping a curb

i track rod end is worn out, if its not any thing that has been sujested before.
i reckon near side could be both. dont forget worn king pins
