Rear tires are not straight even after the alignment

[vc commodore]

Ok found mine, so I lowered my car just over 18 months ago, drove it for a good 8-9 months before gettings an alignment. All stock bushes etc. my best rear camber is -1.3 degrees and I've never had tyre wear issues. Car traveled some where around 25,000-30,000kms in this 18 months. Tyres are Achiles ATRs wear 380, traction AA, temperature A

They are a harder compound tyre but provide plenty of grip compared to the factory Potenza's.

I don't trust that report....Any numbers could have been put there to make it look good....computer print outs are better...less chance of dodging up

The guy done it while I watched/talked to him (hence my request for -2 front camber. My point was my cars best is -1.3 degrees and I don't have the issue the OP does. So I don't believe cambers the issue and would look at other things........

I had endless trouble with my rear passenger side tyre scrubbing out and the car tracking.
Turned out to be a rear wheel bearing. New bearing another alignment. Fixed.

I have hence me asking whether they whole tyre is scrubbed or just an edge....makes life a little easier diagnoising the problem, rather than just saying, it's a camber or toe problem.

I missed asking a simple question....Is it the whole tyre face that's scrubbed, or just an edge?

The whole tire. If I show you a photo for my old tires, you would definitely say I'm doing burnout.

The steering wheel is vibrating between speed 90 to 115 km/h. The vibration is completely gone when my speed is 120.

I will go to a mechanic to check the bearing.

Having the whole tyre scrubbed leans towards the bushes being knackered....nothing to do with camber/toe problems....

Best way to check them is, get a screw driver inbetween the outer of the bush and bracket and see if it moves side to side or up and down....if it does, replacement time

I will check them tonight.

Also I noticed something strange. Today before driving to work, I checked the tires. They become straight. :hmmm:


I checked them again when I arrived home. They are not straight. :hmmm:

How many km's has the car done and have you done anything to the suspension?

Bushes.....or the adjuster bolts are loose
