Wheel allignment

[bigdaddyof3]

Hi,

Anyone ever get their car aligned and have the tires wear on the outside of the tire? I had this happen to me an a '99 Plymouth Breeze. I had the control arms replaced and the 4 wheel alignment done; now they wear worse than ever, any ideas? Any way to "self" adjust?

Thanks

How to read tire wear.

Might be other factors, but which most represents your problem?

might have rack issue. I would take it back and see if they will realign after you have driven it depending on the miles. You may have a larger issue that was missed as noted in other post.

I never heard of a rack issue causing this. I'd say its a camber problem. So the strut is pushed to far out one way, or your taking corners way to fast.

Its either to much positive camber or there is too much toe in. If the tread is feathered its a toe in issue. If there is no feathering than its a camber issue. There are other possibilities but those would be the first I would look at.

Who is driving it? My daughter burned off the outside edges of brand new tire on a 95 taurus in less then a year. I thought something was wrong so I took it to work, checked the front end and the alignment. Everthing was right on so she bought a new set of tires and they are going on 3 years and wearing great.

Tire wear is the biggest issue! The are wearing horribly on the outside. I took the car back and it showed that the specs. were normal. The rack was checked, and it was allright.

Than there is to much high speed cornering!

Oh yeah I think I said that, time to have a little chat with the driver!!!

What have you been keeping the tires inflated at? and what does it say on the drivers door?

Hi,

Getting tired, did a double shift today... But the tire says #38 and the door says #35 so I keep it at 36.5...
