Tyres Scrubbing
- Thread starter mk3softtop
- Start date
Does it drive in a straight line? Steering wheel straight? Correct tyre pressures? What make of tyre...are they fairly soft? Belt it round roundabouts do you? Which side is scrubbing? If you are looking at the wheel and thinking it looks like the front shows more from the arch than the rear of the wheel....it will. The shape of the wing will give that impression. How accurate are the gauges that are used to track it? When were they last calibrated? So many questions as to why a tyre scrubs.
if you have done all that bud, possibly off set of that particular wheel or has the car been in a bump in the past before you owned it, could that corner of the car chassis be bent??? my mate had the same prob done all you have done and it turned out the front of the chassis was bent, is the tyre catching on something under the arch??? other than that 
soz mate.

no asnt been in a bump would be able to notice under the bonnet but ann original would those littele anti roll bar tie rod thinggys make any diff iff 1 was a bit tighter than other i was told they must be a certain torqe?
doubt it.
how long have you had the car; has it got a history known to you.
front tyres will wear slightly quicker than rears anyway, but might be worth taking it elsewhere for laser tracking if they have failed to find a fault.
