406 destroyed tyres. - Jonny81191 - 24-09-2013
So the new daily I have is a 406 saloon, HDi 90. I'll put a thread up tomorrow. However, I've got issues already
The inner edge of the rear tyres is completely destroyed, like down to the metal and some, can't believe I missed it when I picked the car up, but it came with plenty of fuel so I guess that offsets the cost of a pair of part worns..
My first thought is the tracking is out, as it also feels a bit tail happy and "wobbly" in corners. Anyone got any other suggestions??
Edit: Jacked it up to swap wheels and all feels solid, so no shot bushes etc..

My money would be on the tie rods on the back have not been adjusted correctly. They have probably been replace but not tracked up

rear suspension links are made from Weetabix........they wear out all the time allowing rears to self steer/bump steer

Wow, that's a lot of destroyed tyres!
Oh wait....

as said when replacing the rear links the rear needs to be set up again, 2 types of adjustment model depending, Mind it's a easy way of getting Neg camber on the back.

quick thought...they werent on the front, worn on inside then chucked on the rear??
once a tyre has started wearing badly on one edge is kinda stays that way

Cheers guys, I'm gonna get some part worns on there and then get the alignment checked asap.

Have you got a laser and a level? I need my tracking done ASAP
RE: 406 destroyed tyres. - Piggy - 24-09-2013
or just some string. old bloke taught me how to use a piece of string. and he did a couple of cars with it before we chucked it on the lasers....spot on!! lol!
