williamweb Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Today I carried out my usual 4000 miles oil change.Removing the front wheels makes life such lot easier😀On inspecting I noticed slight inner wear on both of them.The rears are wearing nicely thank you and all four tyres have spun approximately 8000 miles.Would you swap them to the rear?Also thinking of having them rebalanced.Your thoughts are always appreciated 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think you need the tracking checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Removing wheels for an oil change is a new one on me! As above, sounds like tracking is out. If it's a mk2, its also worth checking the wishbone bushes, common fault and when they wear it allows the wheels to points outwards slightly while cruising which wears off the tyre insides. Don't move them to the back now. You just end up with uneven wear on all tyres which causes a horrific noise...made that mistake myself lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Maybe you don’t have a splash guard to remove with poor access up the sides 😯I suppose I could turn the wheels one way then the other🙄It’s a MK1 i’m booking it in for tracking tomorrow 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0CUE Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 My last tyres done exactly the same and my bushes are all fine so I got tracking done and time will tell but the guy who done the tracking said fords are notorious for it and this is a MK2.5.

Probably wrong but just thinking the negative camber could be part of the set up for good handling around corners😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
