Thanks for the reply Mark.
I can see the solution as being "trial and error" and a few scuffed out tyres.
If I try and blame it on her driving style,all she will say is "Fine, I just won't go to work and you can support me"

Well my present set (which were 6 months old when I first posted on this thread), have outlasted the original inside worn Potenza's (even wear across the whole tyre now).

I'm definately blaming it on the original Subaru factory settings and the improvement has been made by the Prodrive geometry setup.

what i would do if it the settings have changed everytime you get it checked is when you get it done again,take the car round the block and then go back and have it checked again,they shouldnt charge you or just say it feels strange and want to make sure its set right,this way if it moves out again in a ride round the block you know you have something worn on the car that needs replacing(i.e worn bushes,track rod,top shock mount,bottom ball-joint ect),if its ok then it may be that as you have taken it to different garages they may have gauges that are out of calibration or they are just telling you its out to make more money out of you.also some people(average tyre fitter)don't realise that power steering cars should be running as when they are off there is no pressure in the rack and can have an affect of play in the rack,after its done,start it up,wiggle steering and check reading again.

Thanks again Mark for the reply.It has been the same garage who have tested the car everytime and at 3 month intervals.And everything was fine on the last 3 monthly check.With regards to money,I cannot fault them as they have never charged me!!!(and I almost feel guilty for that) even when they initially set everything up.The guy also had mentioned about worn parts and said that I would be better going to a specialist,hence that's why I trawled this thread out of the archives to get anymore further comments.
XS-Home, is that you Mr Knowles????If so,I hope you are o.k and I will be in touch in the New year ref Octane Booster(If it's not you then I've made myself look a plonker,no change there then).
Kind Regards

If I can find him a decent 22 before he buys s kyline then there's a chance, not holding my breath though.....

i had the bumpsteer mod done on my classic and its cured the uneven tyre wear

dean harris

I have been thinking about having the bumpsteer removal done to my car Dave,so you think it is a worthwhile mod to help with the tyre wear then.
