Tyre wear issue


Hi all,

Anyone give me any clues as to why the tyre on the rear passenger side of my Disco is wearing badly on the edge? Can't figure that one out. Is there some kind of tracking adjustment that's out. I don't know where to start looking. Confused

wear in the upper arms is a good bet, get the rear end checked over for upper and lower arms and bushes and off chance of bearing then a 4 wheel alignment done but the rear upper arm bushes are favourite Thumbs Up

Cheers Biffysun. Bow down
At least I've got some pointers now. Hadn't a clue where to start.
I'll let you know how it goes.

With wear on the outer edge only, it's likey to be an alignment issue.

But, the suspension will need checking over anyway, as there is no point aligning the car with worn suspension bushes. Renew anything worn, including then tyres, then have it aligned Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

Front bearing took my rear tyre out. As DM said mine went on the inside rather than outside. James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.
