Title: Gutted!
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 21 June 2013, 18:43:38
I had two new front tyres fitted to The Merc back in March as the old ones were worn, especially badly on the outside edge, down to the canvas...  :-[

I had the wheel alignment done at the same time and all seemed well.  Today I've noticed that the tyres are badly worn on the inside edge.  >:(   Which suggests to me that they've over adjusted the camber?  :-\  I reckon I've done about 3000 miles with them.  :'(

I've been hunting through my records for the receipt, but typically can't find it!  ::)  Anyway, I'll go through my bank statements later to find the date and they are going to have an unhappy ex-customer on their hands tomorrow!  >:(

Any thoughts would be welcome, especially those that might prevent me making a complete tit of myself...  ::)  :)

The thing is it will be quite hard to prove they set it up wrong, they could say you've banged into something thus putting it out :(

Speak to Tony at Wim. But be armed with the set up figures.

What year and model?

It's a '98 C250 Turbo diesel.

It's a good point about proving they set it up wrong and especially as I can't find the receipt!  ::)  I always keep receipts and the one time I need one....  ::)  >:(

Is it possible to knock the camber out on both sides?  ???

I think you might remember hitting something hard enough with both wheels to do that :-\
