Front Tyres Positive camber tire wear reasons?
I mean have you seen this and what suspension parts where worn?
Just swapped out the tyres. Old Front ones had this wear on them.



Outer-Edge Tread Wear
Tread wear on the outer edge of a tire is rare these days, but it does happen. Positive camber, caster and toe can lead to wear on the outer edge. If you see edge wear on one side, check the "thrust" and "setback?".
But, it should be noted, the leading cause of outer edge wear on modern vehicles is over-enthusiastic cornering.

Its 2014 pop with 82k on the clock still doing 54MPG...
So not too grubby...

Could it just be that the tracking is off? If outer edge of both fronts worn, it could just be the wheels are ‘toe-ing in’ too much...

Something you're not telling us?

my panda is a hot hatch....

I've got a camber tool level, and going to copy a diy tracking tool using a lazer level and a few bits of steel from toolstaion ...
As show no you tube" Homemade laser wheel alignment tracking device"
And check the front end out...

...or go to a tyre centre: many (all?) offer free tracking checks (but will charge to reset it if necessary)

The type of tyre wear is going to be caused by a combination of tracking, tyre pressures and driving style I suspect. Camber is not adjustable unless you install Eibach Camber Bolts or similar, so if you are running too much positive camber, then the car has been in an accident I'd suggest.... (stock is about 0.3-0.5deg -ve Camber from memory).

I do my own geometry setup and the new laser tracking tools on the market are excellent - this particular device is a sensation, self-calibrating and as accurate as anything from a garage;

... As are the older-school Trackrite pad type devices;

Check against the specifications for the car and reset accurately - it's pretty straightforward.

Hi R1NGA
Thank you for the reply..
At the minute I just want to check the camber and steering alignment, yes the car was in a bang... but not sure if that was the issue. I know that the rear end is not adjustable either.. Can you fit anything to that to make it adjustable.
cheers

Rear is not adjustable as far as I am aware, unless you design something bespoke, which I would not recommend. Front Camber is adjustable via the Eibach Camber Bolts, which are a slimmer, stronger bolt that replaces the OEM upright mounting bolt, and contains an eccentric adjuster section to allow you to pull out the bottom of the wheel hub relative to the upright. If you do this you MUST reset tracking (Toe), as this will change with Camber.

Forgot to say, Camber gauges are pretty cheap and simple and you might want to invest in one of those to check how much the Camber is out, side-to-side;
