Worn Wishbones !
« on: 14 March 2009, 17:53:10 »
Both front tyres are worn on there outside edges, is this a typical characteristic of worn wishbones, ie along with the bangs and crashes from the front suspension on any type of broken road surface.
p.s. this is not just a tracking problem.

check the alignment after the wishbones they play a vital part in the alignment and when there duffed they cause the tyre wear

i took mine to WIM after i had the bushes wishbones done and all i needed adjusting was the Rear Toe and the camber to Tony's special figure ;D
