Uneven tyre wear on recently aligned wheels

[tcm1106]

Hi All

I had my front wheels aligned about three weeks ago as I noticed that there was some uneven wear on the insides of both front tyres.

For a few days after having had the alignment done the steering felt a lot more precise so I assumed all was good however for the last couple of weeks its started getting worse again and after checking the insides of the tyres today, they are wearing fast again.

I'm also experiencing some slight creaking from the front suspension which I recall from the days of driving a 1.2 Polo was something to do with the bushes.

Because it was ok for a week or so am I right in assuming that the alignment was done properly and that deteriorated or worn bushes are causing the problems? If this the case then if I replace the bushes would it cure it? If not I'm tempted to take it back to the garage as there is a three month guarantee on the alignment and get them to check the alignment again...

I'm far from an expert on suspension matters so any advice is greatly received!
Cheers

Thanks pal. I've heard similar about using cupra bushes so I'll see what I can find.

To be fair.. The bushes were probably shot when you had the wheel alignment done originally. So the tracking will be out again.

I'd get yourself back round to the garage that carried the wheel alignment and get then to have a look!

Yeah I figured as much. Can't blame them lol. I'll get the bushes replaced and then get it back round there for a re-alignment.
Knowing my luck I'll probably drive through Warwickshire's deepest pothole on the way home...
