Uneven tyre wear

sassy_one

Hi people


I have noticed that on a car I am selling it has uneven tyre wear on one (1) of the front tyres, it has been like it for a few months.

The wear is on the outside of the tyre

Any ideals?

Also the steering is pulling sightly to the left

Get the tracking checked for starters.

Thanks - i intend to get the tracking checked this weekend

The tyre on the other side is fine with no uneven wear, just wondering if as its just the outside on one front tyre if anyone knew for sure if it is the tracking thats out

If its pulling to one side, in the absence of any obvious damage it'll most likely be tracking.

This is another one of these take it one step at a time. No can know for sure if it is the tracking but that is the place to start.

Then you can look at:-

Shock Absorber
Broken Spring (thast should be fairly obvious though)
Worn suspension bushes
Could even be a speed hump you take the same way every time

Or check and rectify the tyre inflation pressures for starters?

Knackered track rod end quite possibly, could also without offence be your driving, or anything that anyone else has suggested. Change it for the spare and get on with selling it. ;), I'd be more worried if I was buying it than selling it

could also be track rod end with excess play
