Well that's interesting. I'm able to see that side has more wear than the other side. Mines an '09 and has only done 12K. Is this the year involved before I go back and ask them?

When I had the suspension done they did a wheel alignment and the back left was way out of wack. Mine is brand new though.

Both the rear tyres were wearing unevenly on my 08ss, turns out both the rear control arms were damaged when it was transported over from the east.
The dealer in Perth should have picked this up when the car was inspected before sale, but they did not.
They refused to recognise this as a problem, even after my local Holden dealer mechanic spoke with them.
I complained to Holden Australia who spoke to the Dealer but had no joy.
It was not a warranty issue so they did not want to know.
New Control Arms cost me $700 to get replaced.
Rear tyre wear is now excessive but even. :yeah:

Mines in today having the rear aligned. Too much wear on near side rear compared to off side that things could be right. Local Bridgestone shop are doing it, could not be fussed with fighting GM over a few dollars. Tech. guy I spoke with claimed most were out early in their life front and rear.
