Tyre wear

by Fostersice17 » Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:20 pm

Hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on this,last year i was getting a funny whooping noise from the back of the car,so i got it checked out and the tyres had worn on the inside,i was not to bothered as these were the tyre's that came with my wheels,and were nik nak paddywack or something,anyway they did 40,000 miles so not that bad.So i had them changed to decent tyre's.Now 5 months later the noise has come back? So obviously the tyre's have worn again? Why? What could cause this,i do have some weight in the boot with my install but this is around 8-9 stone.What is causing the tyre's to wear on the inside so quickly.Thanks

Yes it is lowered,35mm,not sure about the camber correction.Im going to the firm who did it 2moro,so will ask them if they did it or not.And surely you weigh more than 8-9 stone:tongue:

Corrects camber for a -30mm drop.

Do you not have to replace both the bushes on each wishbone(four in all), or just the inside ones on both wishbones?
Are they for all models or just the 4x4's
Cheers.

can do it on all models but the 4x4 is more important as it can break things [img]/laugh.gif[/img]
