If I had 4 wheel alignment done in Feb this year and have noticed tyre wear on the inside wall of the fronts, should i go back to the place i had the alignment done and complain.

The invoice says alignment should be done every 6k but when I first had it done my mileage was 55489 and now 10 months on the mileage is showing 59500 so less then the recommended re-alignment.

My concern is from what I can see from the report minimal adjustments were made but why have i noticed this weekend that i am getting wear from the inside. Surely any adjustments made 10 months ago would prevented anything like this from happening.

I have done less then 6k miles over the year, tyre pressures are all correct, i have not driven over any kerbs, bumps which could cause the alignment to go out, so my question is why am I or have been getting tyre wear on the inside wall for months.

I have the right mind to go back to the specialist and ask but as they did do the re-alignment and have a report to prove they may not do anything about it but may ask i book it in again. What are my options.

If the wear is the same on both Tyres then it may be the angle that they have set the Tyres at.

If you have a print off of the before and after values post it up and it may make it easier to answer your questions.

My fronts wear more on the inside and i have the geometry set every year though i do have a fast road setup and that wear is expected. I will change the fronts to the rear soon so that the front and rear wear at the same rate as i know my fronts wear quicker than the rear..

As above i have my geometry done regularly and get inside of the fronts wearing. Even the standard setup from the factory is quite agressive compared to most cars and so you get uneven wear.
Protyre told me that kind of wear is very common on imprezas

also bear in mind if the tyres were already "worn" when any alignment was carried out it will not generally rectify this wear and will continue in the same vein..............
