s3boy Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 i have un-even tyre wear on the driver side rear of my lupo, the tyre has worn on the inside, any ideas what it could be? tracking and balancing is all straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWR Lupo Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Are your tyre pressures all correct?Maby you have got a bent rear beam whic may be affecting track and camber or have you had the rear beam off as it may not be aligned correct.

s3boy Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 if i had a bent rear beam would both rear wheels have un-even wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 a bent stub axle is more likely than the beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 my n/s/r tyre has a flat spot and uneven wear on the inside edge. have you ever had the rear tyres on the front of the car? could be that they wore on the front, and the way they roll on the rear has caused this part of the tyre to wear faster? mine make a f**kin loud whirring noise which i thought was my wheel bearings, but its my tyres!
