Following my previous post, "Inner Edge Tyre Wear" on 1st January, I took car for a suspension check / alignment yesterday.
It confirmed the tracking was out which they said was probably causing the inner edge wear but also confirmed the camber on one front wheel is way out … (see report attached).
The tracking was corrected but I was told there is no way they can adjust the camber on the front wheels of this model … but if it can't be adjusted … how come its that far out.
Does anyone know any 'tricks' as to how I can get the camber back within spec?
It says it is -1.9 deg. Is this negative camber and top of wheel is further out than the bottom?
If so … I would have expected the outer edge of the tyres to be wearing quicker than the inner edge … which wasn't the case when I discovered the weird tyre wear last week.
Perhaps I'm better just to wait and see if the rapid inner edge tyre wear has now been corrected.
Any advice, suggestions most welcome.
