Is My Car Lowered Or........

[jajapuppy]

Do I have a problem.

Strange question I know, but here is the reason why.

Both my rear tyres are wearing on the inside. On Calibras this was a symptom of lowering the car.

The distance from the wheel center to the bottom of the wheel arches on my car are :-

Front 36 cm
Rear 33cm

I am on the standard 16" wheels for a 850 T5

Any body any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like a tracking problem to me. Looks like the toe in / toe out needs setting again to enable the tyres to roll correctly without wearing unevenly.

The rear on T5's generally sit lower so the measurements you give seem correct.

Ah - possibly not too serious then - wheres the number of quick fit.....


Thanks for your help Andy

Your very welcome, although don't take that advice as verbatim.

When reading your post 'tracking' sprung to mind. £30 will get all 4 wheels tracked and maybe think about balancing too to improve the ride more so.

Process of elimination will get results ;)
