Francis Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 My disco's tyres are wearing extremely quickly (within a month, to bald) in the inside 50% on both sides. I have been reading some things about toe-in...also that there is no adjustment for camber. Am I doomed? Is there anything other than the axle that could be bent and need replacing?

PoguesTD5 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Do you know if the Disco has had a new drag link or drag link ball joints. If it has and not been set up correctly then this would probably be the cause of the tyre wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front wheel toe out should be 0 to 2mm castor angle 3 degrees camber angle Zero It's unlikely to be castor or camber unless it's been messed with, As for tracking I always set that parallel, If it's good enough for racing cars then it's good enough for a Land Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sounds like massive toe-out if the inner parts are wearing. If you haven't replaced anything recently, maybe something has got bent? Regards Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Check your swivel bearings, if they go the wheel folds up outside the axle so all the load goes on the inner edge of the tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
