Is there a cure for this on my classic?
Have looked at all the forums and only thing i can find is whiteline ALK and four wheel alignment.
Anyone had these done and does it make any difference??
thanks

Could imply you're running not enough negative camber - or even positive! Maybe too low tyre pressures?

Unless you always give it the beans round corners, everywhere you go - showing the tyres no mercy? Is it more predominant on the left (heavily loaded in roundabouts) side?

tyre pressures are high, both tyres are worn the same on outer edge drives straight and dont pull.

I had this on my 2006 sti spec d, both front tyres would wear on the outsides. I had a 4 wheel alignment done and the chap doing it said they where both running positive camber after fast road settings all has been good in fact after about 16 weeks I haven't noticed any wear at all

I've got the ALK and had four wheel alignment but I still get it. But i'm running 18's with 35 rubber which is a harsh ride and I think all the potholes have thrown my alignment back out! How often do you guys get your alignment done?

find someone with tracking and allignment tools all in one . the camber bolts are to far out and the trcacking is toeing in . therefore taking the outer edge off your tryes . got mine done for 40quid in north devon best 40quid i ever spent tyres have worn perfectly ever since

A high tyre pressure should wear the center of the tyre, so you either have too much toe in or not enough camber (or a bit of both)

I would get a 4 wheel alignment done by someone that knows how to set up a scooby correctly.

Yes, get the ALK and also a set of camber bolts to fit to the rear struts. That way you'll be able to run -ve 1.5deg camber at the rear, as well as the front.

Also, and most importantly, a rear and/or front WL ARB would be a worthwhile move, before going ahead with the laser alignment. It's these, more than anything, which transforms the handling...

Madscoob, can you spill the beans on who/location, heading for bude in a couple of weekends, and have wear inside front tyre, me thinks could be due a look at.
