Just to tag onto this thread a little, I`m now getting horrible tyre wear on my front boots. I got T Haus front spindles and coil over shocks on the front and adjustable plates on the back. Just got my bus mot`d and Nick (brill meknik) told me my front boots were chewing their inners :shock: They had covered less than 1000 miles possibly only 500 from brand new and were on the steel in places :shock: So he wacked his sight guages on to quickly assess the front alignment and we were surprised to find it spot on even , even though we`d set it at 5 min toe in less than 1000miles ago. So during the course of the mot works he chucked on an extra 5 mins. The only thing we didn`t do was re check the camber and the eccentric nuts as I couldn`t see them moving :? . So we plonked a set of steelies on in 14" with a good set of tread on and wandered off to the Plymfest fully loaded with me and my (large) brother in law in the front. Next weekend we did the Bristol fest so nice and local for me, while we were there we checked the tyres and we could really feel the chew from the inner edge still :evil: So our next plan of attack after lots of head scratching :? We are thinking that every time I take it in for wheel wear / adjustment etc, the van is completely stripped out because I`m always working on it or in the middle of something. So as a long shot, we are gonna try the wheel alignment and camber with two very large buckets in behind the seats filled with water, a bit bigger than the old rubbish bin size and see if that makes a huge difference. Not convinced at the moment as any empty panel van would be chewing up tyres like mine but it might be interesting if we glean anything. Now Nick assures me, and most people tend to agree that stockers don`t eat tyres much at all, especially with the amount of mileages that most of us do. Now is anyone else eating tyres ?? or is it just me ?
