Tyres getting worn.

[Adam D]

My car was in an accident quite a while before i bought it but i don't know what actually happened. Anyway, the wheels are not quite straight and the steering is out a little bit. When i went to a garage a while ago to sort the tracking out he said he could straighten it so the steering wheel was center but it could make driving it worse (?) he showed me on the screen that a couple of the wheels are a few degrees over than what they should be but i didn't ask what could be done(i didn't like the garage and i was in a rush, they told me break pads needed doing even though they were band new on!)

You can see that the back drivers is angled when looking closely from the back but my main problem is the passenger front tyre, it gets warn quicker than any of the others and is always on the outer edge where it starts. Any idea's what if anything could be done to slow it down and sort it out?

I am getting a couple of new tyres tomorrow from a new garage so will ask while im there if they have any suggestions.

Thanks.

Passenger front getting worn more quickly is normal... Taking roundabouts quickly, all the weight is on the front left.

But as for the alignment, take it to a specialist and get them to take a peek, may be something bent.

ahh, Maybe i do take them quicker than i actually need to. If something is bent, is it as simple as bending it back or maybe building parts back up?

Probably not. Depends how serious the damage is though.
Can't really say without looking at the car / knowing what is wrong.

Best get it checked out though mate
