XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 3m 21d Gender: Male Posted 03/06/14 09:31 PM Author Share Posted 03/06/14 09:31 PM fair enough, I haven't had an alignment yet, as it steers straight and what not but I haven't been keeping an eye on the inside of the front tyres and how much wear they had otherwise id have noticed already and got a wheel alignment sooner, just strange how its only happening over an inch and a half on the inner part of the tyre.. wheel allignments every 10k from now on with this car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
