Inner front tyre wear..ball joints??

[johnsbegood]

Hi all. Just a quick one. The inner edges of the front tyres are wearing quickly. Am I right in thinking ball joints/suspension arms??

 

[water-bug55]

maybe it needs the tracking done ??

I would only suggest doing the tracking if the suspension has been altered or the track rod ball joints have been changed or the car has been in an accident, ie heavily curbed.
As the wishbone rubbers perish they do give you that symptom. When where they last changed?

 

[johnsbegood]

It's on 86k and I believe they have never been changed. Hence why I'm thinking they need replacing. The car was in a bump just over a year ago but it had to have a new tie rod done and also the tracking due to the bent tie rod. But as far as the arms go, they've never been changed. Think I'll get the tracking checked first though.

far too much toe in applied to the tracking probably.. :idea:

Toe out my friend, it would be the outside of the tyres if it was toe in

Tracking ... Toeing Out

strange..the FRP cambers and toes in slightly and always wears the inside of the tyre more..

:wink:

That will be the camber not the toe in
