Probably everyone who has ever owned an Ibiza.

Try a search - Wheel Alignment or Front wishbone bushes

I noticed this with mine since ive owned it, when i fitted my coilovers i got the tracking fully aligned and it hasnt solved the problem, both my front tyres are at least 1 to 2 mm down compared to the outside :confused: as far as im aware i dont think the cambers adjustable on these either so it left be baffled

As said already, there is no official provision for adjusting the camber, but I think that all the fixing holes are oversized so some adjustment is possible - get somewhere with a four wheel alignment bench to try to sort it, or, I'm sure that there are some expensive oprions arouns that few folk take up - like adjustable top mounts and/or excentric TCA rear bushes.

My wife's Polo got Cupra front bushes and a full four wheel re-alignment about three years ago - following by a full set of tyres, at its MOT about a year ago both front tyres were U/S (on the inside) - so even after taking all normal attempts to stop this happening - and even with standard suspension fitted and a petrol engine, these cars will still wipe out front tyres without you needing to abuse them - its the price we pay for buying cheap cars and expecting good road holding!
