no ‘rub marks’ to be seen

Dont you look at your own pics? Hint look at the 1st pic.

Seems you don’t know all of them then

Agreed.....Know Main North Rd, Dalkeith Rd, Angle vale Road, Roseworthy Road, Road through to Hamley Bridge, the road out through Sandy Creek, the Sturt Highway Gawler belt.....Even went down Bernard Court once chasing a VB/VC Commodore sitting at a panel shop, where there is a nice dip in the road and still didn't scrape....So that's just to name a few of the main roads through that neck of the woods.

Even got a couple of mates out that way....One at Evanston and one not far from Ryde Street....

So any chance of naming the really shite roads that you scrape on?

I have had the wheels off and there is no ‘rub marks’ to be seen, as this was my 1st thought. I might take it to ‘peddles’ and get them to test the shocks.

your pics show sidewall wear, then looking at the thread patch angle pic on the ground that side wall is never going to make contact with the road, so it has to be rubbing on something

So any chance of naming the really shite roads 1 that comes to mind is Sturt Hwy on the way to Nuri just before the penfolds sign, left hand lane.

No rub marks to be seen when I took the wheels off, on the car. Thanks for your positive input though.

That’s what I thought too, tire shop had a look at the body too, could not see anywhere it would rub. Going to take it to Pedders to get them to asses it.

u also said ur running 40psi which is good and shouldnt allow deflection to go that far only a under inflated tyre would wear that high on sidewall, u can also lay the tyre over to the angle that the worn bit contacts the ground and that will show u the camber needed for it to wear there, if its getting to that point without rubbing on guard then must be a suspension issue something loose enough to allow excess movement in some way but i feel u would notice the back end feeling sloppy if that was happening, strange one will interesting to find the cause

Travel it reguarly....Have rellies at Barmera and Renmark..... I live just South of you, so head that direction on my way to the Riverland....

Another interesting road, that is shite and I still don't scrape is Ebenezer Road, Nurioopta....About 2 k of dirt road, pot hole ridden corrigated shite of a road to get to wreckers that is a gold mine for older cars....

So as mentioned, there is something worn or bent

That would be Dudley's joint, managed to get a complete car out of him to fix up 10 years ago now

The 2 options I have found for increasing the camber adjustment on the rear are the Kmac turn buckle arms or the coil over option.

Coilovers will not give you camber adjustment at the rear, only the front depending on brand.

What offset are your wheels? Almost wondering if they're scrubbing on the inside with that very defined angle.
