Tyres worn on the inside

[Foz77]

Got some fairly serious wearing on the inside of my front tyres (as in probable MOT fail) The wear is pretty even on both. Took it to !Removed! (Kwik) Fit for a free check, and the young lad there said there were no problems with alignment. Not sure Im convinced though

The suspension looks in good shape, so Im thinking it may be a negative camber issue - can this be easily adjusted on a Mk1 Focus?? Am trying to get a 4 wheel alignment check sorted as a "second opinion"

Any thoughts??

Cheers

Easy to adjust, but don't attempt it unless you have the correct alignment kit...

Sounds like you have considerable toe out there.

However...have you ever changed the tyres or wheels had alignment before??

Quite common to buy a car that has had the alignment sorted but was already scrubbing the tyres...once a tyre starts wearing that way, very difficult to stop it.

Best thing to do is get couple tyres ordered and have front suspension checked and alignment done all at same time....find a good local tyre company :)

Piggy, still on the same tyres when bought (and they certainly looked like new tyres then) - the rest of the tread on both is fine - had it for around 6 months. Im wondering if this problem was there when I bought it - impossible to say if its ever had an alignment done - I would hazard a guess "no" is the answer if pushed however...

Just a dummy at kwik fit them me thinks!!

new tyres and alignment required...sorry!
