griffsplace Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Just back from a good run, 600+ miles and once I removed my tyres to look at the brakes to see why they are juddering, I have noticed that both front tyres have worn quite a lot more on the inside. Its doesn't pull to one side and I had the tracking done after doing the wheels bearings last winter. is the camber out as well? Do garages check for all setttings when they do the alignment? On the judder side I checked the disc with a DTI and it was about 0.5mm out, then removed and checked the hub, which was about 0.2mm out. Looks like that's the source of the juddering.

j_jza80 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Some garages do full alignment checks, some don't. But yes, thats likely to be excessive negative camber. I assume the car is quite low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Throwing a car into corners is also a cause of wearing the tyres on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffsplace Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Car is a touch lower than stock now its on coilovers. There certainly was a fair amount of "spirited" driving on trip. The old NA kept up with some much more powerful and newer machinery on the trip. It was driven pretty hard for hours on end through some excellent winding and flowing roads.
