Tyre Wear
Hi, The front nearside tyre on my Xantia is wearing on the inside edge. I had them tracked and balanced about three months ago. My question is; should I be looking to check any bushes or suspension parts? or even getting them re tracked ? many thanks Terry .

Re: Tyre Wear
Before spending money on tracking take a look at the condition of rear bush on the lower suspension arms, any signs of cracking or splitting and they're knackered, if you get the tracking adjusted before checking/fitting new bushes the alignment will be set incorrectly and you'll have to get it done twice.froggy wrote:My question is; should I be looking to check any bushes or suspension parts? or even getting them re tracked ? many thanks Terry .

Re: Tyre Wear
If the tracking was at fault both tyres would be wearing, I have known this be caused by the tyre itself being defective but check the bushes as Dickie says.

Re: Tyre Wear
look at the front suspension arm below the hub, folow it to were it is bolted onto the sub frame there you will see a bush at both mounting points,
a bush at the front end and a ( P bush ) at the rear end,
DickieG is referring to the rear ( P bush ),
although play in either of the arm bush's or the lower swivel joint can/will cause tyre wear
