124 124 Wheel Alignment Question – Advice Please.

[WDB124066]

All things being equal would front toe alone have the ability to cause outer shoulder feathering on the front of a Sportline A124.

If all other parameters were set correctly would feathering on the outer edge tend to be the result of too much or too little toe....??

too much toe-in.

changes to suspension height, changes the geometry also.

Thanks for that, the ride height is the same....

Hi W

when you mean feathering do you mean outer tyre wear?

Assuming so, i would probably say the toe could be causing the issue yes.

Maybe a worn ball joint? or something really simple as Tyre pressures?

 

[WDB124066]

Thanks Billy, yes outer tyre wear so the tread on the corners has a slight saw tooth feel when running your hand over the tread backwards. It is a sign of accelerated wear.

Ball joints are fine, tyre pressures are slightly high, 34 psi instead of MB's recommendation of 30 psi.
