i was told not worth bothering about as the cost of fixing it will not equal the cost of tyres the back corner will eat

Good for equalizing camber then

I've noticed the strut mounting itself offers very slight adjustment.

My car is also a 54 plate but uneven tyre wear is exactly what I was suffering from at the front until I went to a tyre specialist garage and had it resolved. Cost me 2 new tyres first though!!

Not much point replying to a 2.5 year old post

Koa sold his car years ago.
