I took a Merc 1820 into an alignment place in Cape Town years ago.  The truck had recently been imported from the UK and was chewing front tyres at an alarming rate! 

The reason they said was that the roads in South Africa have a different camber profile to the UK. The solution? They bent the front axle with a hydraulic press!  :o

Solved the problem though!  :y .


How else would you do it?

Dunno, get Geoff Capes in?  ::)
