Hi all,

Having fitted new Pirelli Snowcontrol tyres last October i was servicing the car prior to winter and one of the jobs was to rotate the front wheels to the rear to maximise tyre life. On removal of the fronts wheels i noticed excessive/uneven tyre wear on the inner edges of the passager side particullaly, and some on the drivers side. Tyre pressures are checked regullaly sio i know its not over/under inflation. The oly thing i can think of is that i replaced the drop link on the passanger side over a year or so ago, whilst i never thought this would effect camber i can only assume it has somehow.? It looks like i need a full tracking check carried out and the "toe in" adjusted and or camber corrected.

Any recommendations anyone on if my assumptions are correct.

Not keen on tacking it to a dealership nor Kwickfit etc to carry out trcaking may well try local garage.

Cheers in advance for any input.

Personally I'd have replaced both droplinks to keep things equal from side to side :)

Get the tracking done I say.
