Linx Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The old WRX has recently started wearing the inner most edge of the rear tyres on both sides. I know it's quite recent because I have had the wheels off often over the past 6 months. Is this a sign of any particular bush giving out? The tracking was checked a few months ago and was spot on supposedly. The fronts look fine.

savage bulldogs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Is it on standard height suspension ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linx Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yep standard suspension except for alloy drop links. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip1993 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I had the same problem with worn out springs replaced the springs and all good now Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just asked as it looks like camber wear and lowering throws the camber out and the rear camber can't be adjusted . Unsure if the rear control arm or lateral link bushes being worn would throw out the castor enough to cause wear but they might be worth checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip1993 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 When my springs where getting a bit tired it looked like it had been lowered so it could be just that Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linx Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Any idea what the tyre to wheel arch gap should be? I've had a look at the trailing arms. I can twist them but can't move them in any other direction. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Only thing I know about the arch gaps ,is that on both of my classics none of the them was the same lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 ^ 😂 Clive Anyway OP do you have the oem wheels on or gone to a bigger size ? How often do you check the tyre pressures & what do you have in them ? Any one of many things cam cause un even wear but 90% of the time it's incorrect pressures or an alignment issue ?

Linx Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi Stants. I check pressures every 2 weeks and set them to 2.2 Bar at the back. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linx Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yes I fitted new drop links not long. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Updated ones or plastic ? May be worth getting an alignment check as the uprated ones are stiffer so may alter the geo slightly Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveuk260.Esq Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Check tracking. That's the usual culprit. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linx Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Will do. They are uprated. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linx Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Well I had it laser tracked yesterday. Apparently nothing wrong with the rear. Adjusted the front tracking a bit. When I put new tyres on the rear, I'll keep a close eye on it. The gap between tyre and wheel arch looks OK.
