The car is lowered with a camber kit in the rear, might be time to fit a front camber kit me think's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another possibility is that it wasn't ADR compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rota_Motor Guests Posted 27/03/05 11:39 AM Share Posted 27/03/05 11:39 AM did anyone at least check the wheel alignment when the new tyres were fitted??from memory AU's had a way of adjusting with shims, and it appears to be a very similar front end on the BA.

Posted 27/03/05 10:50 PM Share Posted 27/03/05 10:50 PM Yup and had all four wheels balanced at the same time. I'm on my third set of rear tyres, (and no, I'm not a burnout king!) Ford told me it's because I drive too fast and rears get scrubbed out. The fronts wear pretty fast too, but I've not had them long to check (as soon as the backs wear down, I swap the fronts back and put the new ones on the front.Sounds like a bit too much -ve camber on the drivers wheel? what tyre pressures do you run? I think ford set them too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
