guess what my our passenger side tire started to wear this time instead! i thought it maybe happened cos i swapped out thrust bushings up front, anyway I rotated that same tire n alloy to the other side up fron't same issue...i then rotated the fronts to the back and hey presto problem solved, rears wearing fine and so ae fronts

No weight?

So.........its fixed? Just move the wheels around until the tires stop wearing unevenly?

0 degrees of camber?

You will all think i am nuts, but yup changed alloys to 17" with 235/65 tires on em factory spec and my wear issues went.....be curious to see what happens once i change the tires for newer ones....the 0 degree camber i wanted as i thought having this set to 0 would reduce the inner wear but toe plays a significant role too...
