Technical Excessive Inner Front Tyre Wear

Re: Stilo JTD Tyre Wear

Vibration can often be caused by a worn drive shaft, which is not related to tyre wear.

What are they setting the tracking to? I believe stilo's have been changed and now should be set to 0 deg to stop tyre wear.

Re: Stilo JTD Tyre Wear

Ive heard that track rod ends on Stilos are a little bit of a common thing?

I think one of mine could do with being replaced as one tyre in particular on the front is wearing more on the inside edge. Although ive now swapped tyres back to front to monitor the wear.

Obviousl question, but are your tyre pressures correct? Checked often?

Re: Stilo JTD Tyre Wear

cant you try something as simple and cheap as re-balancing the wheels before you go stabbing in the dark at more expensive/complicated things?

Yes the wheels were balanced + 4 new tyres + arms + shocks + brakes.

Shakes all the time worse in corners but sometimes really bad when braking.

Jacked the car up last night and tried to feel for play in left to right and up and down but nothing.

When driving the virbration is still there if I dip the clutch.

My old Tempra used do do this, never fixed that either, that had new arms and track rod ends.

Re: Stilo JTD Tyre Wear

As a previous poster has suggested - it sounds like a drive shaft issue to me - even if not particularly obvious i.e you can't detect it as play.

I'd get it checked out
