I went to Pedders Suspension Midvale, they did a good job, time will tell.

Gave me a print out of factory specs, where my ute was and where it is now.

you can get a camber/castor kit for about $600 fitted I believe.

Did your car smell of unholy BO afterwards or was I just lucky? hahaha.

ye mate, bought the car at auction at 100k and its now 108k, came with brand new tyres. My driving style has worn it down even more, also doesnt help that the front has brembos which makes the inner edged wear out faster. Wheel alignment shop didnt give me a printout

Yea you must do a lot of skids to get those tyres down in 8000kms lol

I think wear those tyres out, then when you get new ones get a wheel alignment, get the print out and post it up and we'll see if we can help. I know my local Jax does suspension as well so when fitting tyres they can check suspension for shagged bushes too

I would have to say alignment and under inflation contributes more than bushes...unless they are completely flogged out.

I have a completely re bushed suspension in my BA with super pro poly's . Tyres lasted an impressive 46,000km (yokahama Advan V103's) but the inner edge on teh front tyres wore slightly before reaching the treadwear indicators (maybee another 5k I could have got out of them.)

I think I got lazy on weekly pressure checks and ran em under inflated for a few weeks (around 32-34psi) contributing to teh inner wear...as the tyre is allowed to deform more under cornering.

will see how the new set goes, keeping them at 40psi.

I kept it at 32psi, I thought it was normal until I got new tyres yesterday at jax and they told me to keep it at 36-38psi . Said bushes were fine and just did wheel alignment

yikes what size rims have you got?

I know 32 is too low unless you got some motha side walls on them but I run 19's and could't honestly tell you what I think you should run.. I would imagine 38 would be on the money though but again depends on what tyres your running.
