I just noticed that my front drivers side tyre is worn smooth at the edge, what do I need to do to adjust to correct this?:



There is 6mm of tread in the middle of the tyre, and the other side of the tyre is fine. All the other tyres are in perfect shape.

 

get a front end alignment

 

normal wear for 4th gens. it's due to having positive camber. setting the camber to -0.50 will aide in controlling this wear.

 

Is this something I should attempt myself or would I be better off getting a garage to do it?

 

have a shop do it

 

for sure.....they can check it on a front end machine

 

Did you not catch the part where the other front tire is not wearing out the same way?

 

yeah i did. i own an alignment shop, so i feel i have some knowledge in this situation.

if you want me to get deeper into diagnosing it, here goes.

with the particular tire wear he is having, it would indicate to me there is excessive positive camber on the left with possible excessive positive toe and caster lower on the left. this would indicate a pull to the left as well.

without having the car in my shop and on my alignment machine, it is a guess at best.
