what the hell could cause this?? - rd070707 - 23-05-2013
So started stripping back the suspension to change my coilies out for springs and found this..
pretty bad inner wear, tyre was brand new only a few thousand miles ago

Tracking or camber issues

Tracking, or worn wishbone bushes...

Most lowered 306s do wear their inner edges first but not usually that bad.

I'd say worn wishbone bushes tbh. A waste of a newish tyre
other side is the same

Did you get it lined after you lowered it?

As said; go get you're tracking sorted; garages won't charge too much for it. If the tracking isn't out, then check the wishbone bushes
RE: what the hell could cause this?? - rd070707 - 23-05-2013
No didnt get it tracked. No doubt this could be the source of my excessive road noise / grumble as its almost running on the bloody sidewall

Does the car ever want to drive side-to-side?>
RE: what the hell could cause this?? - rd070707 - 23-05-2013
Yep feels like it sways almost sometimes

if you didnt get it tracked after you lowered it im supprised the tyre lasted 2000miles
when i lowered mine it put the tracking out by 7degrees on a 40mm drop

my tracking was severely out on the estate. Full lock it would scuttle side ways. My tyres are worn on the outside but decent on the inside. My range per tank has gone from about 500 to 560 miles!
Tracking cost £25 and of course was a good chance to look under the car whilst on the lift.
