Tyre wear.

Hi All.

I have a 2004 4.4 V8 Vogue. The rear tyres are wearing on the inner edges on both sides of the car, is this correct. In the past I have had several BMW`s that wore the inner rear edges and was told that this was correct. Is this the case for these has they were owned by BMW?

Any advice would be a great help.

Stuart.

I would suggest that you get a full alignment done, which can also check rear camber. Some of the kwik fit centres have the equipment to do this. Regards

I had a 2004 4.4 for over nine years and didn't have that, so agree that your car should be checked/sorted. Only Range Rovers since 1988

07MY, my rears wear on inner edges too. Maybe an alignment is due Rolling Eyes Jordan

Definitely needs an alignment. Dont go to kwi fit though, go to one of the few centres that have the corect Hunter machinery for a complex beast like the FF.

Here's a list of them:
www.alignmycar.co.uk NW060

"Red Shed" - 1982 Series 3 88" County Station Wagon
"Spirit of Great Britain" - Rolls Royce Meteor V12 engine
ZG875 - Westland Sea King (cockpit section)
"Carly Rae Jeepsen" - 2006 Jeep Commander 5.7 Hemi

"Pride Of The Road" - 1/4-scale Marshall traction engine - sold
"Georgina" - 2000 Discovery 2 TD5 ES - sold
"Windsor" - 2005 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 - dead

Kwik Fit have either the Hunter system or similar so can provide the same type of checks that the FF needs. Regards

If you go to a kwikfit centre with the Hunter system they do a deal for four wheel alignment if you sign up think it was 99 quid for 4 alignments in a year I need at least two as I change from winter to summer and back again

I never used to be a fan of the likes of Kwikfit but as the tools become more automated and idiot proof(ish) like Air con servicing etc. they seem to offer pretty good service.
I recently had the alignment checked on a Hunter machine at a Kwikfit after I had fitted a track rod end, as they charge for each adjustment they have to make it would have cost me about £60 or the variation on the above offer was as many checks/adjustments as you need for 2 years for £100.
Given how rapidly our cars eat suspension parts I expect to get my monies worth out of them.
So far I can't fault the job that they did and you can see exactly what they are doing on the screen.

Yes that was the deal couldn't remember but for 100 quid it was spot on

Hi all,

Thanks for the information I will try and find someone with Hunter equipment. We do not have a Kwik Fit over here only ATS, National Tyre's and a few independents, not even a Land Rover dealer.

Many thanks.

Stuart.
