hey guys, i have a problem with bad tyre wear on the rear drivers side tyre, the inside of the tyre is getting worn badly, i put new poly bushes in the trailing arms, but this has not solved the problem, i believe my model of impreza can't get the rear tracking adjusted (2001 jap sti) ??
any ideas would be welcome!!
cheers

 

sounds like the toe out is to heavy but other than having something bent or dodgy trye or possibly the shocker top mount has gone causing the tip in,can you see an obvious difference between how the tryes sit up right when looking from behind mate?

 

can't see anything obvious at all, i've checked everything apart from the top shocker mount, but i'll take a look at that tomorrow,
can the rear wheels be adjusted or tracked?
thanks mate

 

not to shore on that age mate but if the camber can be adjusted then that may well be out and need adjusting.

 

i'll check it out, thanks for the advice mate!!!! cheers

 

had another look at the rear wheel today and it is toe out!!
any suggestions, still can't see anything obvious

 

sounds like she's had a tap on that side at some point which has bent the trailing arm/arms id be getting it on a ramp at a garage to see which if you can see it is bent and replace mate,thats all that can cause it to be toeing out fella

 

thanks mate, had it at the garage and got it checked over and the car put on the 4 wheel aliginment lazer thing, they found one of the rear tracking bolts is siezed in the bush, so gonna relace the bolts and bushes, they said the tracking is off a wee bit, but will get it tracked once the bolts and bushes are replace, so hopefully that will sort the problem!!
Thanks for all you advice!!!
cheers
