tyre wear

[sue]

I would like to know if anyone has had problems with rear left wheel wear that is excessive. I have had numerous wheel alignments and the problem isn't getting any better. I don't do burnouts.

What is the wear pattern like? Even all way round and across the tread? Just on the inside? Just on the outside? Patches? Usually you can isolate the problem by looking at the wear.

could be the camber of the rear suspension is oput by a few degrees, i no its a vy and that they resolved the prob in vx but its still a possiblilty, good to check it out cos since i lowered my vs calais i need to get a camber kit bad, cos ill b luky to get 6months outta my tyres the way they r angled

Sue.. get a check done on your car first to find out if you have standard IRS bushes or adjustable bushes... check to see if the rear springs are already sagged... when getting your next IRS wheel alignment done try to load your car as you would normally drive it.. if you carry rear passengers and some load in the back, leave the load in the back, fill up the fuel tank, even put some weight in the back to represent passengers if you carry some... bags of sand to compensate the weight....
