Noticed today, this has happened sometime in the past month. N/S looks a little worn on the inside but O/S is completely fooked round the inside edge. Pressures are checked regularly.

Tracking??


Not happy

Are they the same tyre N/S and O/S? If so then its likely tracking or you turn one direction more than the other.

About 3 degrees?

As you car gets older it will need the lower balljoints renewing - they have the most effect on tracking.

I have just had exactly the same problem.

The tyre looks brand new until you turn the wheel out and the inside edge is totally bald.

I went and had the tracking sorted and he did say it was well out.

Problem is the car is still slightly veering to the left.

I took the car back and had the tracking chaecked and he said it was spot on.

Could this be because i haven't changed the bald tyre yet or is it possibly the lower balljoints as someone has just suggested??????:confused:

Veering off to one side is more likely to be camber than tracking. Sounds like you need the entire front suspension looking at.
