I recently had all 4 shocks and front top mounts done (about 4 weeks ago), and had the car again 4 wheel aligned.
I've just had the car serviced on Thursday, and I've been advised that both rear tyres (the same tyres from the original kwik fit visit) are down to 2mm on the outer edges, sure enough they are, although passenger side is 2mm, driver's is about 3mm.
It's a bit annoying as the rears have a good 4-5mm tread still on all but the outer edge blocks. I'm going to get the alignment re-checked again, but I was just wondering if it's a sign of anything underlying that could be wrong (paranoid much?).
