Even after we made this adjustment - it ate a new set of tyres again.

It was only after Tony set the Toe that it is fixed..


The toe must have been so far out as to be affecting the camber then?

So what about the wear on the rear?

The rear toe is adjustable and could be out.

Pro Tyre on Church Road have the equipment to measure all the angles. They'll adjust to "customer settings" too. Not quite WIM but nearer!

If you pop round at the weekend I can give you my opinion on the wishbones. I've changed mine 3 times now.

Similar wear on my fronts was wishbones + camber + toe.
