IE I've seen alot of Utes/vans come in and I always recommend to have the car kitted up with what you would normally carry around, may not seem like a big factor but the weight does affect the alignment and a ute with your usual tools loaded will have a different setting compared to say the same ute with an empty tray!

My old man has a BF GT which we used as a family car to go on trips etc and we set the wheel alignment with about 200kgs more weight in the back because the car did 90% of its kms with that weight in. made a huge difference to tyre wear. Probably irrelevant for the OP though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84970-definitive-answer-to-inner-tyre-wear/page/4/#findComment-1396979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably irrelevant for the OP thoughSpot on, its not just tools, even an empty or full tank of gas will affect it!OP is on the right track with bushes alignment etc, this was just a factor to take into consideration in case it happened to be a work ute etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84970-definitive-answer-to-inner-tyre-wear/page/4/#findComment-1397122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
