I kerbed (quite hard) the front right wheel resulting in uneven tyre wear. New tyre and 4 wheel laser tracking later the left tyre is wearing uneven (inside).

I guess the steering must be damaged but my local Dealer should have checked this the first time (?).

I've found that once this is wear pattern is well established (you didn't say how many miles you've travelled since the kerbing incident) the tyre will continue to wear as it's already got that characteristic pattern now. Assuming the alignment is all right I'd suggest replace the left tyre too (hopefully it's ready to be replaced anyway?). Hope you come right.

Camber and castor need to be checked at the same time as the tracking .Incorrect tracking will NOT cause wear on ONE tyre on the front it will wear both ,but it will on the rear.

Thanks, I guess I will fit a new tyre and get it check again.
