My Panda Dynamic Eco 1.2 (just over 1 year old and 10000 miles on the clock) is showing uneven tyre wear on the O/S front inner and the N/S rear outer. This was noted down at the first service, two months ago, but the garage did not flag it up to me. I have just noticed the problem because the O/S front wheel started to squeal when I turned to the right, I also felt that the car tended to skip when going over uneven ground and I was trying to find out why.
I checked the tyre pressures (all correct), the tracking (dead straight ahead), the camber (just over 1 degree negative camber). I inspected the rubber suspension bushes (I am not impressed by the design of the suspension -it appeared to be designed to fail!)
I have owned Fiats for over 20 years, and the tyres have never worn unevenly. When I contacted my main dealer they did not seem surprised - just brushed it off as normal .
Any ideas about what is going on?
