sorted_mk6 Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 yea i thought that, i just thought it was a bit extreme to be just trackin, but thanx for the reply mate, feel a bit better now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob84 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i've heard it could possibly signs of the lower arms going, but how true this is, i dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i've heard it could possibly signs of the lower arms going, but how true this is, i dont know It is very true, and to rectify this cleaned me out (jobless student)! Lower arns went due to them having done 40k, then having the stress of 17s and springs. My front tyres wore EXACTLY how sorted mk6 described!!! Don't drive it mate. Chuck some spare wheels on the front, then have the tracking checked. If you're lucky, the tracking will be well out. If you;re unlucky, front arms need doing. My tracking was off the scale 2 new tyres went in less than 1,000 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was by total chance I parked the car with the wheels turned! Was going to go to the Donington show the next day too. 500 miles..... they would not have stood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
