What are the bushes like?

Also had a wheel alignment to check for camber? Could indicate worn bushes as wraith suggested.

No rear camber adjustment from memory.

Are both wearing on the inside? If its just one have you lowered it and not changed the pan hard rod?

[Jonah 101]

new bushes all round, and no cant adjust camber. you can only adjust how central your diff is and thats if you have an adjustable pan hard rod.

I was wondering iff loose/worn wheel bearings could cause this?

I have lowered it, and no I havent got the adjustible pan hard rod, but whe i gave it a wheel alignment it didnt suggest there was any issues. its only on lows I think.

That will give you positive camber on one wheel and negative on the other. (I think right is negative). Could be somewhere to start.

Did you get a wheel alignment printout? How's the toe and camber on the rear wheels? Although they can't adjust the rear they still measure it

[wraith]

Didn't think live axle could have camber being the fact it's a solid diff.

Your right, No cant be adjusted. only the panhard can be. And no I dont have the print out, I did the alignment myself so I didnt keep it.

A live axle has absolutely no adjustment. The only thing that can wear the tyres like that on the rear is a bent diff. Unless the tyres have been on the front. Once tyres start to develop a wear pattern they will continue to wear like that no matter where they are put.

[Jonah 101]

Okay, maybe its because they are second hand. they looked pretty un used though. thanks for the advice.

Yep, no adjustment but if a wheel alignment reported any neg camber then it could indicate which parts may be broken.
