Uneven Tyre Wear???

mikeyandmary, sounds very much like too much positive camber or the leaning out at the top of the tyre, if the tyre is weaing bald on the outer edge as you have stated - the wheel would need to be vertical to correct the wear. Excesive toe-in will wear the outer edge but the tread will be feathered across the entire width - but if the tyre is bald and smooth it's a camber issue.

Camber plates can correct this - they bolt in between the spindle and the knuckle housing or if the casteris out too new knuckle bearings and be used which are adjustable to give correct alignment or even caster wedges between the spring pack and the axle housing to roll the housing for correct angles.

However, if you were billed for an alignment when the suspension was done go back and question it to whoever fitted the suspension.

What The???

Have been trying for years to get decent wear out of tyres on the Pajero. Local Beaurepairs dealer is out of ideas.

Do you have any?

Fixed the problem on my pajero. Run half a degree negative camber on the front. Standard setting is up to 1.5 deg positive. Really scrubs out on the roundabouts that way :-). The front drivers side wears on the inside now, just. Passenger side OK.
To do it, put in packers behind the top wishbone mounting bolts on the inside to pul it in. Have a look, you will see what I mean. Sometimes with standard bolts you may not have enough length, so put in high tensile bolts that are longer. Make sure they match in strength and diameter, so you may need to pull one out to check. I can't remember now what they are.
Then you will need a realignment, and remember to tell any one who is doing the alignment in future that you are running non standard camber. Otherwise they may come back saying your front end is stuffed!

Spade, John C has the standard fix for that problem. Is common on early Pajero's, especially if you crank the torsion bars...

Had to do it on both my NC and my NH.

I was always led to believe that tyres should only ever be rotated front to rear, & to NEVER change the direction of rotation!

I've got the same sort of vehicle & tyres that MiKe & Mary has got. By doing what I have suggested mine has worn flat & even at 45Ks.Don't know how to post pictures on this site to prove it , but if you give an email address I'll show you

I don't doubt your tyres have worn evenly, but I have been told that it is dangerous on radial tyres to change the rotational direction.

You could slow down the U turns a bit. ;-)

Funny you should mention that... Having 3 kids of my own and being very aware of the other kids in the court, the u-turns are not at all vigorous ones. Just seems that the sweeping 180* turn just puts a lot of load on the front left tyre.
