New tyres, droplinks & tracking but STILL uneven tyre wear!
Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:39 pm
Hi all,
I've replaced the droplinks and got new tyres (and had the tracking checked) on my Outlander alloys but I'm still getting excessive wear on the outside of my front tyres. Its a 2wd 2.5td with 205/60/16 s on the front - as its a new import the garage I got it off put new bottom balljoints and a new wishbone on the O/S so I'm surprised I'm still getting the wear -it was doing this before all the work so what else do I need to do? Can the front shocks be worn (new MOT though) - dodgy steering rack or try and and get the alignment done properly at a Bongo specialist (am I answering my own questions again
) I did replace the arbs and tighten it all up with the wieght of the Bongo on its wheels.
.. steering still feels quite loose and unconnected - especially when going over bumps though the bangs have stopped with the new droplinks and arb's - so I'm entirely surprised something still seems amiss.
cheers,
Steve
