Tricky-Ricky Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 No problems with MOT, but did notice that the front tyres are starting to scrub the inside edge, now both myself and the MOT guy thought that this is down to to much toe out, but theres no feathering on the tread that you usually get with the tracking out, normally i would say its excessive camber but there isn't much, any ideas?

Max Headroom Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I suspect that the toe and camber need adjusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Wouldn't hurt to get the tracking/alignment checked mate - not expensive and at least you can then eliminate one possible cause:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sounds like tracking, but tracking or front wheel alignment will not be adjusted for camber by the usual shit-fit etc. HTH Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Get a full suspnsion set up done. Mine was way out the fronts were wearing like yours to bald in 4000 miles. Rids much better too RichardA, you still work at the same place??? Used the oil analysis kit yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 very common! nearly every supra i've seen on the ramps suffer from inside tyre wear on the fronts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Get the setup done properly. Mine used to do the same, even after a tyre place had looked at it. Got it done at a decent place (£60) and it's been fine for the last year. The ride's so much better too - no twitching over bumps in the wet any more.

RICHARDA Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hi mate Yup I'm still there for the time being. I finished my OND but had to put my HND on hold as our adoption process has picked up pace and needed to earn a full time wage for the forseeable future. Trying to find a decent job at the mo Oh yeah, hav'nt had a chance to use the kit yet on my Supe as I've been spending time fiddling with my newly acquired MX5. See you next time you're in.
