Rear tyre wear

Post by pitscars007 » Sat Oct 29, 2016 8:25 am

Hi all - my 82 sports wagon is wearing the inside of the RHR tyre - and on dirt the car is very wandery (ok on bitumen) - something is bent or worn - have not had a close look yet - anybody else had this problem ? Cheers

Rear bearings or rear bushes - or the camber is off on that swing arm, but only if the swing arm bushes are good.

The only way to really find out is to knock them out - at which point you might as well replace them. I used the Nothane three piece bushes, got 150k km out of them with some pretty serious 4wd'n ;)
