Tracking / camber etc

[ioneabee]

I've now done around 8.5k and have noticed that the outer edges of the rears are wearing more than the inner edges - front seem normal.

 

I've been into a local ATS who say they can do 4 wheel tracking, camber, have the kit etc and have quoted £100 + vat

 

I did ask the dealer before I collected the car to double check all tracking etc

 

any thoughts on whether I have a case against the dealer for not doing as instructed on purchace, or just go and get it done ??

doesn't quite look as bad here - but its definately a problem - outside edge is much lower than inner edge

Hi all

 

went in for 1st service yesterday and asked them to look at this

results of depth of tread

Inner Middle Outer

N/S Front 7 7 5

O/S Front 7 7 5

O/S Rear 6 6 3

N/S Rear 6 6 3

 

They stated that the camber was NOT adjustable and the tracking was correct

 

is this correct ? and should I be concerned about the uneven wear as above

[Mark@Abbey m/s]

looks to me you just drive the car properly;

 

The rear camber is adjustable the front isn't I am afraid , the tracking can make the tyre's wear funny thou.

Dem numbers are a LOT better than mine and I've only done 4,000 mile (OK rear outers are still 4mm on mine).

 

I obviously DON'T

looks to me you just drive the car properly;

 

But I do enjoy it.

[ioneabee]

its the 2-3mm difference from inner to outer that was concerning me, not so much how much has dissapeared

[ChrisS]

I only drove it for 400 yards. So don't blame me.
